Idrais Alai Books

Idris Ali was an Egyptian author of Nubian origin whose work deeply explored life in his native Nubia. He was a vocal critic of the poverty and oppression faced by the Nubian people, protesting the loss of their ancestral lands due to the construction of the Aswan High Dam. His writing style is marked by a raw urgency as he depicted social injustice and cultural displacement. Through his narratives, Ali not only documented the suffering of his community but also prompted reflection on broader issues of identity and rootlessness in the post-colonial era.
