Torn from her South African tribe by Dutch settlers, sold as a
slave, trapped in a world of debauchery and trickery, humiliated
whilst living in early 19th century London and Paris, Sarah
Bartmann clings desperately to her beliefs, and to the memories of
her native land. Exile Child is more than just her story. It is a
tale of hope, of courage beyond human endurance, of the power of
the human spirit, of a young woman who refuses to give in to the
alien world into which she has been so violently thrust. Exile
Child is a historically correct and compassionate portrayal of one
of South Africa's most tragic heroines This story gives an insight
into the hopes and dreams of this Sarah Bartmann, who through past
centuries has come to symbolise both the dispossession of Africans
and the reinstatement of women's dignity. This flesh and blood
portrayal of Sarah Bartmann is in direct contrast to the caricature
presented as "The Hottentot Venus," that has been characterised by
Western society for many centuries and this book follows Sarah's
final journey back to her homeland in 2002.
