Tarmini's Novel as a Light of Resistance
Tarmini, a novel by Fatiha Al-Hashimi, explores the human journey of alienation and the search for belonging through the character of "Morocco," whose story takes us from Tunisia to Italy. The novel addresses issues of freedom, dignity, and safety, raising questions about the meaning of belonging and the relationship between place and person. It emphasizes how social and psychological borders shape identity. Going beyond the traditional theme of migration, the novel serves as a reflection on human alienation and the inevitable quest for a new homeland and a meaningful life. It highlights the value of humans as beings endowed with memory and dreams, rather than fixed identities. The book received the 2025 Literary Creativity Award in Arabic and underscores the vital role of literature in defending life and human values in a world increasingly divided by differences and borders.
