Maru is the moving tale of an orphaned Masarwa girl who goes to
teach in a remote village in Botswana where her own people are kept
as slaves. Her presence polarises a community which does not see
Masarwa people as human, and condemns her to the lonely life of an
outcast. Bessie Head was one of the best-known writers in Africa,
whose works were mostly inspired by her own traumatic life
experiences as an outcast in Apartheid South African society. This
edition of Maru includes an introduction by Stephen Gray, former
Head of English at the University of Johannesburg.
