Abstract: This research paper provides a comprehensive literary analysis of Al-Gharbi Imran's novel Alzaidi Fortress, which explores the issues of discrimination based on gender, color, and race in Yemeni society. The study highlights the complex interplay of violence, ethnic and racial discrimination, and gender inequality faced by marginalized groups, particularly women and the "Al-Akhdam" segment of the Muhamasheen. The paper draws on literary theories such as Marxism and feminism to shed light on the deeply ingrained biases and systemic injustices in Yemeni society that perpetuate social divisions and injustice. The research provides recommendations to address these issues, such as promoting education and awareness-raising campaigns to challenge discriminatory attitudes and practices, advocating for policy changes that promote greater equality and social justice, and supporting grassroots community initiatives that empower marginalized groups. Therefore, the study argues that the novel Alzaidi Fortress is a powerful work that highlights the need for social and political change to address issues of discrimination, violence, and inequality in Yemeni society.
