North Africa: Arabs, Berbers, and Pirates (Lecture at University of Utah)

Visiting Lectures and Events : Middle East Center

Lecturing on Arabs, Berbers, and Pirates was very enjoyable. I’ve studied the Arabs, Arabic, and Islam for over 39 years. I enjoyed learning more about Berbers and 16^th and 17^th Century Pirates as I prepared for this Lecture.

For the information on Berbers, I owe much of the information I shared to Professor Fatima Sadiqi, Senior Professor of Linguistics and Gender Studies (MA, PhD), Co-Founder of the International Institute for Languages and Cultures (INLAC), Fez, Morocco, Director of the Isis Center for Women and Development, UN Gender Expert, and President of the National Union of Women's Organizations
