Re-membering Women’s Violated Bodies: Sindiwe Magona’s Beauty’s Gift

Abstract

The essay is meant to stimulate a general reflection on the burning issues and problems which affect contemporary South African society but whose shadows, in different forms and degrees, loom over the world at large. The focus of the attention is the South African writer Sindiwe Magona’s literary production with a particular emphasis on her latest novel, Beauty’s Gift, published in 2008. The novel, shortlisted for the Commonwealth Writer’s Prize in 2009, represents the starting ground to interpellate South African society in its present innermost contradictions and hidden tensions in order to re-think the widespread culture of violence which wounds the community.
