Nadine Gordimer, a towering figure of world literature, has been directly involved with the racial and cultural struggle of South Africa, South Africa as a country condenses, many major problems facing the world today, that of class, race and culture. As a writer, living in the world that she depicts in her novels, she is like an ‘inside observer’ who presents an 'inside history', of the lives and people of South Africa going through the transient phases of political upheavals. The political, social and literary situations prepared her mind to write against the exploitation and cruel policies of white rulers. We can say that there was something in her blood which revolted her against the white laws which segregated the blacks from white and made the native homeless in their own homeland.
