"The Book "Port-au-Prince, Haiti..." is written by an aspiring author Lyonel Gerdes. It's a sequel to his first trilogy book "Joie de Vivre and Decadence: Growing up in the Golden Age of Les Cayes, Haiti, which was about the rise and fall of the beautiful coastal city of Les Cayes, as a duty of love and remembrance. His second memoir is about the difficult transition of his displaced family from a well-to-do provincial life in Les Cayes to a completely different set of modest living conditions in Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital city. His stories offered a compelling look on the author's coming of age journey set in the mid-60s to the mid-70s in this beautiful neighborhood of Martissant with the spectacular surrounding views of its magnificent green hills on one side and the soothing Caribbean Sea on the other. Gerdes, an adoptee, was still dealing with his second-class family status, and the emotional neglect on the part of both of his parents. Because of that, he will seek his mother's love from all the neighborhood's girls, and especially from much older ladies. Further, he describes how his family's financial situation hit rock bottom, and when that happened, he was the one to suffer the most. In the end, the author managed to come to terms with his somewhat dysfunctional family, thanks to his inner strength, character, and charisma. Lyonel's purpose behind his trilogy brand is to give his readers a fascinating new outlook on life, and how you can still manage to turn your earthly journey around, despite the inherited condition you were dealt with."--

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 from the nineteenth century to the present in order to chart the changes in Arab sexual attitudes and their links to Arab notions of cultural heritage and civilization. A work of impressive scope and erudition, Massad’s chronicle of both the history and modern permutations of the debate over representations of sexual desires and practices in the Arab world is a crucial addition to our understanding of a frequently oversimplified and vilified culture. “A pioneering work on a very timely yet frustratingly neglected topic. . . . I know of no other study that can even begin to compare with the detail and scope of [this] work.”—Khaled El-Rouayheb, Middle East Report “In Desiring Arabs, [Edward] Said’s disciple Joseph A. Massad corroborates his mentor’s thesis that orientalist writing was racist and dehumanizing. . . . [Massad] brilliantly goes on to trace the legacy of this racist, internalized, orientalist discourse up to the present.”—Financial Times
