Are you this? she asked cupping her hand. Or are you this? she motioned with a poking finger. If you re the poker she said you aren t a homosexual. For Madian this opposition reveals not who he is but patriarchy power and society's efforts to fit us into neat boxes. He is Palestinian but wasn t raised in Palestine. He is Kuwaiti - born but not Kuwaiti. He's British - educated but not a Westerner. He's a Muslim but can t embrace the Islam of today. He's a gay man out of the closet but still living in the shadows: he has left Jordan his home three times in fear of his life. Madian has searched for acceptance and belonging around the world joining new communities in San Francisco New York Hawaii and Tunisia yet always finding himself pulled back to Amman. This frank and moving memoir narrates his battles with adversity racism and homophobia and a rich life lived with humour dignity and grace.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Are You This? Or Are You This?
