Unseen Chains: Culture of Shame in Arab Society: An In-depth Examination of Social Control in Arab Communities (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798340539854)

We are prisoners without shackles in prisons without walls. Though the doors are open, some remain captive without the desire to leave, while others yearn for freedom but lack the strength to break free. Caught between contentment and rebellion, they weigh the consequences and remain indecisive.

This book delves into the everyday experiences of those who are haunted by the fear of social evaluation in Arab societies. These individuals are afraid of the scrutinizing gaze of others as they eat, dress, speak, or laugh. Their behavior is suppressed, and they are constrained by societal norms that cannot be broken, further perpetuating power dynamics and oppression among people.

Do human interactions in daily life merely stop at this point? Or do they occupy themselves with more elusive images to break this suffering and alleviate its severity?
