Description

The Harem Within. Tales of a Moroccan Girlhood by Fatima Mernissi. I was born in a harem in 1940 in Fez, a ninth-century Moroccan city some five thousand kilometers west of Mecca, and one thousand kilometres south of Madrid, one of the dangerous capitals of the Christians. The problems with the Christians start, said father, as with women, when the hudud, or sacred frontier, is not respected. I was born in the midst of chaos, at a time when both Christians and women were beginning to question the frontiers. The dust jacket is a little shop soiled but the book remains in a very tidy condition.
