Exploring the dynamics of power during apartheid in South Africa, this book analyzes the works of J. M. Coetzee and Nadine Gordimer through a new historicist lens. It delves into the complex relationship between the oppressed and their oppressors, highlighting how black characters challenge subjugation. Themes of religion, silence, language, and land are examined as methods of resistance. The analysis of four novels reveals both similarities and differences in how each author addresses racial issues and the struggle for power and agency.
