Answer 1

Why Poet Ferrus Speak of taking Sarah Baartman Home

           The poet focuses on personal, political, and historical themes. Therefore, the poem is a tribute to Sarah, the Khoi enslaved person, a woman who was taken away from South Africa, her mother country, forcefully. There was a pretense of displaying it as a freak show attraction in the 19^th century in Europe (Romano, 2021).
