When Three Worlds Collide: A Review of Abdulrazak Gurnah’s Theft – Olukorede S. Yishau

Through their entangled stories, Theft becomes more than a tale of love or parental betrayal. It is a sociological portrait of Zanzibar and, by extension, Africa’s coastal societies, where the residues of colonialism still shape personal destinies. The novel situates individual choices within the larger machinery of economic transformation, cultural expectation, and historical memory.
