Abstract
How does nadine gordimer denounce Apartheid in this short story? Judging from this text, do you think she uses literature as a political weapon? In "six feet of the country", a short story written in 1956, the South-African white author nadine gordimer tells the story of a white man and his wife who have to face the cruelty of Apartheid when trying to help one of their employees to bury his brother worthily. At a time when Apartheid was the norm in the South-African society and racism and discrimination were the only ways to behave towards black people, nadine gordimer dares in this text to denounce the cruelty and the meaninglessness of a situation accepted by all parts of the population.
