Resumen

Although Nadine Gordimer has written several novels, they can also be considered autobiographies in the sense that all of them present a subjective historical view of the real problems affecting South Africa's black population. Focusing on her latest novel, My Son's Story (1990), this essay tries to expose how Gordimer re-writes history, when writing autobiographical novel s in which the "I" has become a collective denunciation of injustice and racism in her native country.
