Abstract
This article conjugates Dorrit Cohn’s postulates on the representation of the mind in a narrative work with Bakhtin’s argument on how action and the many voices in a novel are ideologically-determined to reappraise the psychological dimension of the story in Bessie Head’s Maru. It demonstrates that the characters’ intense mental discourse and psychic interactions are a scathing indictment of prejudice and tribal/racial discrimination and also a way for the author to speak out her aspiration for a more humane world.
