Legends and facts of the shapeshifting Queen of Sheba
Safia Aidid, historian of modern Africa, Shahla Haeri, anthropologist of gender and Islam, and Kamala Sulayli, journalism professor and documentary narrator, explore the Queen of Sheba's many afterlives. They trace portraits from biblical and Quranic retellings to Ethiopian and Yemeni claims. Conversations cover medieval reinventions, nationalist contests over her origins, and how her image fuels contemporary movements for women's authority.
