Resumo

 

This article is a biographical study of Nadine Gordimer through a dialogue staged between three of her characters–Helen Shaw, Rosa Burger and Vera Stark–and one of her essays. The object of the study is to retrace Nadine Gordimer’s steps in her long journey that allowed her to assume and experience not only a nationality but also a sense of belonging to Africa as an African rather than a colonial.
