DESCRIPTION
Many people think of different things and have different ideas of when they hear the word “Harem”. What does it actually mean? Who are the harem women? How did the notion of harem spread? When did it first emerge? This afikra feature goes into detail, answering all these questions about the Harem.
ABOUT THE AFIKRA COMMUNITY PRESENTATIONS
Delivered and prepared by afikra Community members, the presentation’s goal is to showcase the presenter’s curiosity and research, and share some knowledge on a topic related to the Arab world’s histories and cultures. The presentation is the culmination of the afikra coaching process to help identify a topic, find research, and develop the presentation. afikra presentations come in two forms, a long question-driven afikra Feature, and a short afikra FWD with the purpose of sharing something interesting.
