Farm is a vital image in Doris Lessing’s fiction, which is also a result of colonial space production. Through a series of discriminative land policies in a colonial society, the white farmers implement labour exploitation towards natives. Meanwhile, this space also presents various contradictions among whites. Moreover, colonial space production also leads to the deconstruction of natural space. Lessing’s farm writing reveals her nostalgia of the natural landscape when the farm hasn’t been involved with the capitalist space production and her concern for human beings’ unity.
