Bahira Abdulatif Yasin is an Iraqi-born author, translator, and academic currently residing in Madrid.[1][2]
She holds the position of associate professor within the Arabic and Islamic Studies division at the Autonomous University of Madrid.[3] With a specialization in Spanish philology, Abdulatif formerly served on the faculty of the University of Baghdad's Faculty of Languages. Her move to Madrid occurred after the imposition of United Nations sanctions on Iraq following its 1990 invasion of Kuwait.[4] Additionally, she has been a lecturer at both Complutense University of Madrid and University of Salamanca, and she has produced literary works written in Arabic.[5]
Abdulatif has earned acclaim for her Arabic translations of Rafael Alberti's writings, as well as those by authors such as Jorge Luis Borges, José Carlos Mainer, and José Antonio Maravall.[5] She also translated Ana Silva’s poetry collection Cuerpo adentro into Arabic.[6] In 2003, she co-wrote the book ?Lapidación? : mujer árabe, Islam y sociedad.[7]
She has remarked that before the US-led 2003 Invasion of Iraq, Iraq maintained a more secular character and possessed some of the most progressive legislation among Arab countries.[8]
