This Provocative Rereading Of Her Works Sees A More Ambivalent And Culturebound Gordimer.

The Conclusion Reviews The Links Between Romanticism, Generalisations, And Stereotypes In Her Work, In The Context Of A Discussion Of Her Latest Novel, My Son's Story. Introduction: South Africa's Conscience -- Liberalism, Ideology And Commitment -- Stereotypes: Text And Subtext -- Gordimer's Women -- Images Of Blacks -- Landscape Iconography -- Conclusion: My Son's Story.
