Short stories
  • In Mediterraneans: Voices from Morocco (a quarterly publication, winter 1999), the 11th issue of a bilingual quarterly that showcases the most interesting new writing of Morocco in both English and French (including short stories, poems and essays written originally in French, standard Arabic and Moroccan Arabic) Baka was presented by an intensely personal short story.
  • In Zapatos sin tacón, an anthology of Arab female writers, edited by Ami Elad-Bouskila, with stories by Hanan Al-Shaikh and Liana Badr, Baka contributed the title story. She is said to have a mordant style, faithfully representing the collection as an image and also graphically reflecting the content and message of the others. Baka's story is about a group of female patients who escape from their hospital beds, leaping through a window (under the direction of "Patient No. 36, an anarchist") in order to attend an evening of popular songs.
