ARAB humanist is a story of an Arab woman, LouLou, who rebelled against her family while living in America. LouLou wanted to claim her own independence and womanhood but was crippled by her naivety, poverty, lack of a good social safety net, and other misfortunes. The intention of this story is not to demonize the Arab or the American culture. From the viewpoint of the author, Nohad Nassif, the poor, especially women, in all cultures are treated badly - just in different ways.
ARAB humanist is an autobiography that contains story art. It is based on Nohad's life beginning when she was a small child in Lebanon, until her early thirties in America. Names have been changed and people have been altered. Certain scenes are imaginative recreations of actual and fictional persons. Both story and art contain graphic sexuality and violence. It is for mature audiences and not appropriate for children.
In ARAB humanist, a fresh light is shed on one of the most important humanist topics of our time: "Universal, Unconditional Basic Income." The author hopes to inspire impactful discussions on the need for financial freedom for all people, so we can have more peaceful and equal societies. By providing the poor the right to financial freedom that covers the minimum basics of life, the poor's life becomes brighter and more promising to themselves and to their countries.
I do not consider myself a full-time activist, but I feel as though my heart remains awake and aware. The Lebanese civil war began when I was the tender age of ten, and I have been concerned with human rights issues ever since. The little activism I do, at least, must be better than my idleness.
I do not consider myself an artist. You see, I agree with the late American designer Charles Eames who said, "An artist is a title that you earn. And it's a little embarrassing to hear people refer to themselves as an artist. It's like referring to themselves as a genius." I am no genius when it comes to art, but I still like to draw. My art is an extension of my activism. My unrefined art, at least, must be better than my idleness.
I do not consider myself a writer, but I still like to write. I would like to express my thoughts on many human rights issues. My writing is another form of my activism. My fragile writing, at least, must be better than my idleness.
I do consider myself a creative activist, evolving and growing every day. As an Arab and as a woman, it is utterly liberating to finally be able to express myself openly and freely. My son, my activism, my art, and my writing - today that's me, Nohad A Nassif.
