ARAB humanist is a story of an Arab woman who rebelled against her family while living in America. She wanted to claim her own independence and womanhood but was crippled by her naivety, poverty, and lack of a good social safety net. The intention of this story is not to demonize the Arab or the American culture. From the viewpoint of the author, the poor, especially women, in all cultures are treated badly - just in different ways. In ARAB humanist, a fresh light is shed on one of the most important humanist topics of our time: “Universal, Unconditional Basic Income.”

Nohad A Nassif, a humanist, an atheist, and a progressive, is an Arab-American, originally from Lebanon.

An illustrative survival story of Loulou an arab woman trying to make it between two cultures all while fighting poverty as well as issues that face a woman through such an experience that is full of ups and downs. What makes it even more special is that it also discusses an innovative solution: The Basic Income. and explains (by relating it to Loulou's life) how it can make humans better, towards a less painful and more free and creative life. In short a very eloquent and emotionally touching book that is a good read and hear

Great Book

Arab Humanist is a tragically beautiful semi-autobiographical story about a woman named LouLou who moved from one personal struggle to another in a desperate search for self, independence, autonomy, and self-actualization. Seeking her agency, LouLou navigates repression, freedom, and the toxic and positive expectations of the people around her.

The book is framed by a narrative argument for a universal income, punctuating the story with a step back into the bigger picture about how a universal income would lift women like LouLou out of poverty, societal insecurity, familial and partner abuse, and educational pits. This is one of those important stories to read to understand the struggles, successes, and lives of real women in their own voices. It’s also an important point of evidence in the case for a Basic Universal Income. Historically, women from underrepresented classes and races, have suffered the most from income inequality, therefore a UBI would be a boon to women like LouLou.

With her own unique art to illustrate the story Nohad tells us a story that is as much an autobiography as it is a narrative digression about the human condition. Nohad's storytelling pulls you into a world and point of view that is not often told but often lived by many women. That alone makes this story worth every cent and every moment spent reading. I gave it five stars because the writing is beautiful, the story compelling, and the information opened my mind to people and ideas I hadn’t considered before. Also, as I listened to the audiobook, the narrators do an excellent job of telling the story with emotion and care.

A human story worth being told

I am glad I heard this heartfelt true story. I admire this artist’s honesty and fearlessness! This is a rare and unique Arabic gem that won't disappoint. The emotional short story, the lively art, and the plea for basic income - all created a rich book beautifully layered. That is a humanist and a feminist's work, indeed.

This book is not your everyday book on humanism

This book left me believing that Basic Income is possible to all people in need. Basic Income can save young women like Loulou from poverty, suffering, and humiliation. Loulou is a great model of courage and strength.
The story is very emotional. The writer is brave and honest about her experience. The narrators are excellent. The artworks are rich and very detailed. It's a must-read book and can't wait for the next one.

Basic Income Is Possible

Loulou was a child and life's experience turned her into a strong and independent woman. She went through a lot until she figured out that Basic Income is the solution to people who struggled with society's hardship, poverty, and suffering. We're all born equally; it doesn't matter what your race, class, religion, or identity is. This book is proof of that. Everyone of us shares a part of Loulou's problems. Great book in all its contents: story, narrators, graphics, and composition.

Excellent Book

I like that the author cares about all kinds of human rights issues, not just basic income. After the main character Loulou ran away from her family, she struggled and got broken to pieces for lack of anyone's support. It was great to see how she put herself together again.
Loulou is one of those people who have a lot to give but are unable to work in the traditional structure of our society. Therefore, these kinds of people suffer extra. A basic income is a great and just solution for everyone. The story left me feeling hopeful about the protagonist, and a little bit about our world.

The narrators are excellent. The audiobook is well done! I love the idea of Universal Basic Income and support it. #YangGang2020!
It is an easy hear, but in some parts, it's deeply emotional. It exposes the truth behind the struggle of the poor, especially women and children, in all societies and all cultures. I recommend this audiobook for anyone interested in Women issues and Poverty issues.

Love the idea of Universal Basic Income

The ideas are repetitive and horrible. The biography is bad, and it's a shame I wasted a second on it. The story lacks perspective and gets involved in the egoistic person's life. The work feels like reading a cheap version of the novel Emma.

Horrible
