Bio I first encountered Dahia's story in an old movie about the French Foreign Legion. I don't remember much of the plot except there was conflict over the tomb of a North African warrior queen. I discovered the very sketchy details about a woman who led the resistance to the Arab invasions of North Africa that grew out of the explosive growth of Islam at the end of the seventh century.

Dahia, called al-Kahina (think Cohen), may have been the descendant of Carthaginians or Alexandrian Jews who fled the collapse of the Byzantine Empire. She's also claimed by Mauritania (though I suspect her territory was more the Mediterranean North Africa of Roman province of Mauretania). In any case, Dahia committed suicide rather than convert to the new religion. Nancy

The Serpent's Daughter, the third and least volume in Suzanne Arruda's post WWI African series, focuses on the legend of Dahia as Arruda's plucky New Mexican heroine battles bad guys and seeks a treasure in Morocco. I recommend the books in general, but begin at the beginning with Mark of the Lion. Nancy

It's very easy to forget that somewhere out there, people may be experiencing terrible pain and suffering. Why would anyone hurt the innocent? How can some have such great power over others?

The story screams injustice. Nancy
