The short course Brief History of Iraq<\/strong>, taught in Brazilian Portuguese, aims to delve into historical events, ancient histories and contemporary challenges of the Arab country. The classes will address three landmark events, namely the foundation of Baghdad, the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein, and the United States military invasion.<\/p>\n

The short courses of Tabla are aimed at teachers and professors, students, researchers, readers, and other people interested in learning more about the cultures and histories of the Middle East and North Africa. The publisher promotes the literature of the region by translating major literary pieces from those countries into Brazilian Portuguese and publishing them in Brazil.<\/p>\n

The course on Iraq is based on the short story collection Baghdad Noir<\/a> and the novel The Bird Tattoo<\/a>. The first collects 14 stories set in various areas of Baghdad. The latter tells the story of Helen, a woman kidnapped and held captive as a sex slave by the Islamic State \u2014 also known as ISIS \u2014 in Iraq.<\/p>\n

The first class will be \u201cBaghdad: The Jewel of the Middle East<\/strong>\u201d by Samira Osman, while the second will be \u201cThe Iraq of Saddam Hussein: Enchantment and Tyranny<\/strong>\u201d by Murilo Meihy, and the third \u201cIraq on Fire: US Invasion and National Turmoil<\/strong>\u201d by Renatho Costa.
