Hijab Butch Blues by Lamya H.

5.0

---

This book had a gripping narrative the whole way through, with excellent framing tying each chapter to the Quran and showing how interpretation of religion is a deeply personal and intimatw affair between you and your faith. I think this is a book that should become an essential read for queer people, an exercise in reflection on biases within the community, colourism/ racialization, and the way white queer people can further isolate non-white people in a place they should feel safe and heard.
