This book explores from the lenses of Naturalism, New Historicism and Social Marxism, the intrinsic link between the chronotope (space and time) of Alex La Guma's characters and their tragic fate: hence the principle of determinism. The author scrutinizes the time and space of Alex La Guma's five novels, the corpus of his study, to lay emphasis on the socioeconomic and political message conveyed by the various images about the environment and to highlight the socioeconomic, moral and psychological impact of this repressive and degrading environment on Blacks.
