"In the popular imagination, Islam is often associated with words like oppression, totalitarianism, intolerance, cruelty, misogyny, and homophobia, while its presumed antonyms are Christianity, the West, liberalism, individualism, freedom, citizenship, and democracy. In the most alarmist views, the West's most cherished values -- freedom, equality, and tolerance -- are said to be endangered by Islam worldwide. Joseph Massad's Islam in Liberalism explores what Islam has become in today's world, seeking to understand how anxieties about tyranny, intolerance, misogyny, and homophobia, seen in the politics of the Middle East, are projected onto Islam itself. Massad shows that through this projection, Europe emerges as democratic and tolerant, feminist, and pro-LGBT rights -- or, in short, Islam-free. Islam in Liberalism is an unflinching critique of Western assumptions and of the liberalism that Europe and Euro-America blindly present as a type of salvation to an assumingly unenlightened Islam."--Cover.

Sexual desire has long played a key role in Western judgments about the value of Arab civilization. In the past, Westerners viewed the Arab world as licentious, and Western intolerance of sex led them to brand Arabs as decadent; but as Western society became more sexually open, the supposedly prudish Arabs soon became viewed as backward. Rather than focusing exclusively on how these views developed in the West, in Desiring Arabs Joseph A. Massad reveals the history of how Arabs represented their own sexual desires. To this aim, he assembles a massive and diverse compendium of Arabic writing fr

Dans ce livre, on verra comment, pour résoudre la question juive, le sionisme a fait émerger la question palestinienne qui n'en finit pas de se poser depuis soixante ans. On comprendra que le Palestinien d'aujourd'hui est l'homologue, au déplacement géographique près, du Juif d'Europe d'autrefois – qualifié des mêmes épithètes, considéré avec le même mépris. On apprendra que le « sémitisme », pure invention du XIXe siècle racialiste, entre dans ce qu'on appelle l'orientalisme – l'Orient vu par la domination occidentale. Et que l'« abrahamisme » cher à Emmanuel Lévinas et Jacques Derrida, recouvre sous des dehors égalitaires et généreux une bonne dose de crainte et de méfiance de l'Islam. La persistance de la question palestinienne, livre ironique qui s'attaque frontalement aux idées dominantes, se situe dans la ligne de pensée du maître et inspirateur de Massad, Edward Said.
