Samar Habib

An online course available on Udemy.

Habib argues that female homosexuality has a long history in Arabic literature and scholarship, that begins in the ninth century. She traces the destruction of Medieval discourses on female homosexuality and the replacement of these with a new religious orthodoxy that is no longer permissive of a variety of sexual behaviors.

Samar Habib's debut novel, A Tree Like Rain, was published in 2005. It is currently out of print. A preview of the novel is available on Google Books.
