Who is Bahira Abdulatif?
Bahira Abdulatif is an associate professor at the Autonomous University of Madrid. She teaches in the Arabic and Islamic Studies department. She is an expert in Spanish philology, which means she deeply studies the Spanish language and its literature. Before moving to Spain, she also taught at the Faculty of Languages at the University of Baghdad in Iraq.
Her Journey to Madrid
Bahira Abdulatif moved to Madrid after a challenging period in Iraq during the 1990s. At that time, the United Nations had placed Sanctions against Iraq after Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. This made life difficult in Iraq, leading many people, including Bahira, to seek opportunities elsewhere. In Spain, she also taught at other well-known universities like Complutense University of Madrid and the University of Salamanca.
A Master of Languages
Bahira Abdulatif is well-known for her amazing translation skills. She has won awards for translating the works of famous Spanish writers like Rafael Alberti into the Arabic language. She has also translated books by other important authors such as Jorge Luis Borges and José Carlos Mainer. Translation is the art of changing text from one language to another while keeping its original meaning and feeling.
She has also written her own fictional stories in Arabic. Bahira Abdulatif believes that before a major event in 2003, Iraq had some of the most modern laws among Arab nations.
