The common theme among these books is the exploration of African and Middle Eastern cultures, societies, and experiences. Many of the works delve into the effects of colonialism, patriarchy, and societal norms on individuals and communities. The collection also includes translated literary works from ancient Egypt, showcasing the rich history of the region. Love, loss, and the complexities of the human experience are recurring themes in several of the works. Additionally, there is a focus on cultural expression and resistance as a means of navigating oppressive systems.
