Abstract

In Imaginings of Sand, André Brink revisits the history of South Africa through the eyes of a lineage of women. As they were not allowed to speak, women tried to find ‘other’ voices to leave a mark in history. In the novel, the body is shown as the place where both history and feminine identity can be expressed and transmitted. History is therefore associated with en-gendering – the creation of woman by woman through the transmission of history.
