Abstract: Burger's Daughter, featured by its spatiality, is an important work by the South African female writer Nadine Gordimer who won the Nobel Prize for Literature. From the perspective of spatial criticism, this paper finds that Gordimer has created in the novel a series of heterotopias during apartheid. The protagonist Rosa has adventured into different heterotopias in hope of getting rid of the control of her father and finding a room of her own. Her arduous journey in the heterotopias not only reflects the suffocated souls and the rift in a greatly divided society during the apartheid era in South Africa, but realizes her transformation from the pursuit of "self" to integration into the South African anti-apartheid community. As it dissolves the power of white centricity, the emerging anti-apartheid community in the novel implies the author's hope for harmonious coexistence of diverse ethnic groups in South Africa.
