Queer and Muslim

Reviews / Votes

"Psychologists often speak about neutrality. In practice, neutrality is rarely possible. Our interpretations are shaped by the political and cultural contexts we inhabit. The ethical task is not to remove politics from therapy. That would be impossible. It is to recognise when our reactions are shaping the care we provide" -When politics enters the therapy room | BPS




"A vibrant anthology, Queer and Muslim gathers essays and verse from twenty-three authors who reconciled religion and sexuality and traded trauma for good mental health."


"A luminous, soul-stirring testament to queer Muslim resilience, radical faith, and unapologetic healing."

-- Pepe Hendricks, editor of Hijab: Unveiling Queer Muslim Lives
"Queer and Muslim is a raw, vital collection illuminating LGBTQ Muslim lives with complexity and transformative care and a courageous tribute to Muhsin Hendricks' enduring legacy of healing."

-- K. D. Thompson
"A rich, powerful, and compelling anthology, full of timely, unflinching, tender, intimate narratives of LGBTQ Muslim lives and experiences."

-- Wim Peumans
"This collection of personal narratives is both important and full of hope. By adding more understanding to how queer Muslims inhabit their lives, loves, and faith, and by leading us to think about healing and belonging through these stories, this collection provides original and uplifting interventions that aid queer Muslims being seen and heard for who they are, in their own words."
