A tenderly and often painfully relatable unpacking of the queer experience and the brown experience. I want my queer friends to read this and my brown family to read this - the kind of memoir that gently describes a life you might not have. We talk about intersectionality all the time but the reality is that being at the intersection of marginalized identities is not just an academic exercise, it's awkward and silly and painful and confusing and shows me different types of joy and beauty at the same time. I'm not Muslim so I liked learning about their interpretations of the Quran and how they sees Islam, and the parallels between the religious stories and their own life.
Fills me with love for the people that love me.

Boek over queer en moslima zijn, verlatingsangst, kwetsbaar opstellen en de manieren hoe we onszelf kunnen wegcijferen.
Ook interessant om delen van de Koran te lezen en hoe deze op verschillende manieren geïnterpreteerd kan worden
Wel raar dat de titel hijab butch blues is, lijkend op Stone Butch Blues, de bestseller van Leslie Feinberg, zonder het butch zijn te behandelen in het boek. Ergens wordt een keer benoemd dat Lamya gender non conforming is maar er wordt niets inhoudelijks genoemd over hoe Lamya zichzelf draagt

•expands readers’ horizons and worldview
•calculated vulnerability
•a good ending
the author had me having to pace myself so i didn’t tear through it too fast! i had to force myself to savor it
