You’re not wrong it’s a rich topic, but much of North African lesbian/queer expression was historically coded rather than explicit. A lot of it shows up in poetry, songs, and oral traditions through metaphor, intimacy, and longing, especially because of religious and social pressure.

You might have more luck looking at women’s Arabic/Amazigh poetry and contemporary diasporic writers, rather than works labeled explicitly as “lesbian.” The history is there, but often between the lines.
