This research paper sets out to examine Badriah Albeshr’s treatment of Slavery in her novels Hend wa-l-‘Askar (translated as Hend and the Soldiers, 2017) and Al-’Urjuha (The Seesaw, 2010). In these novels, Albeshr tracks the lives of slaves and their descendants across three generations. As a sociologist, Albeshr looks at the different segments of Saudi society, including minorities and marginalized group, and takes great pains in telling their stories and giving them a voice and a presence in her fiction. Albeshr is one of the few Saudi writers who have undertaken to reveal the injustices of slavery as an old institution that did not legally come to an end until the 1960s. More importantly, however, Albeshr tries her best to endow a silent, faceless, and stigmatized group of people with a distinct voice, identity, and dignity. It is my intention in this research paper to investigate the ways in which Albeshr uncovers the brutal history and practices of slavery and, significantly, transcends cultural and social norms to confer a solid presence on all those branded by slavery. Albeshr’s method of individualizing, even ennobling, these characters lies in the roles they have in the narrative and the influence they exert on the lives of other characters. Besides being a sociologist who is duly concerned with the social environment and its effect on the formation of her characters, Albeshr is a feminist who believes in women’s abilities and their capacity for transcending social roles. Therefore, this research leans on feminist ideas, along with psychological and sociological theories. Slavery is a complex issue, and as such, I have chosen not to subject it to a single theoretical point of view.

The present research aims to explore specific procedures and methods in translating the biography of Princess Diana entitled: Diana, William, and Harry, and how they affect the quality of the translation. The research examines the translation model proposed by Newmark (1988) and analyzes it by presenting examples from my Arabic translation of the biography entitled: ‘Diana, William, and Harry’ which is written in English and has never been translated into Arabic. The essence of the book is historical, autobiography, and nonfiction. The purpose of translating this book about Princess Diana into Arabic is to introduce her to the target audience and share with them more details about the story that had never been discussed before, using Newmark's model (1988) in the analysis of the translation. The research uses a mixed method, carrying out both quantitative as well as qualitative analyses. The study claims that different translation procedures have been adopted in the translation of the book concerned. The translation examples of the book will be investigated to see which procedures were used in the translation of that biography that can affect positively or negatively. Moreover, the study discusses that translation quality is affected due to the experience and knowledge of the translator. Responses to a questionnaire will be collected and discussed to check the quality of the Arabic translation.

The aftermath of the Civil Rights Movement caused a great increase in the black feminism movement and made way to a new genre, black feminist literature. There have been many popular names that have made it their life’s goal to speak out about the injustices against black women and separating womanism from feminism. Alice Walker is a prolific writer who spoke out about some of these issues in her writing, using fiction to help people of all races and genders understand the struggle of black women in American and inspire people to let go of their prejudices. Walker’s short story collection In Love and Trouble: Stories of Black Women contains one very poignant story called “The Welcome Table” which revolves around an elderly black woman getting kicked out of a white church in the midst of a harsh winter and subsequently dying. She desires for acceptance by society. The story is filled with symbolism that describes her prolonged suffering. Alice Walker’s womanist work was a pivotal aspect of African-American literature. This research aims to analyze the short story “The Welcome Table” using a womanist reading to reveal the importance of the womanist movement and how it defers from feminism.
