The themes of his works revolve around the issues of injustice and oppression; and the uniquely intertwined emergence of both a 21st-century Muslim-American, and a 1st-generation Afghan-American immigrant identity. Several of Jawad’s family members are displaced Afghan refugees, whose stories and adversities are also reflected in his works.
