Black identity reconstruction through resistance in South Africa based on the selected novels by J.M.Coetzee
description This study was conducted to highlight the reconstruction of South Africans identitywhich was formulated through resistance from the perspective of J.M. Coetzee, anovelist. This study addressed the research questions that examined the impact ofcolonialism on the black South Africans identity based on the selected novels by J.M.Coetzee and how he portrayed the idea of resistance and identity reconstruction through hisfictional characters. The data was collected from a critical analysis of five selected novelsemploying the postcolonial concepts, identity, and resistance. The Post-Colonial Theory wasemployed to critically analyse the characters which reflect the concept of identity andresistance. The analysis was conducted on the characters acts, actions, and the setting, inparticular in South Africa during the apartheid (1948-1991). The findings showed that South Africans identity was affected by apartheid and colonialism. According to thefirst objective, all the characters in the novels, in particular the main characters hadexperienced a significant impact of colonialism and racial discrimination. Therefore, the SouthAfricans tried to reconstruct their original identity and cultural heritage. Referring tothe second objective, the analysis of all the selected novels revealed that most characters wentthrough a number of stages in reconstructing their identities. As for the final research objective,it was discovered that the characters had shown different ways of resistance towards the principleof colonialism and Apartheid. From the findings, it can be concluded that South Africansresisted the hegemony of colonialism and apartheid. This has resulted in their thoughtsof reconstructing their identity, thus, informed others the understanding of how important anidentity is in South Africa, which was marginalized because of colonialism. The implication of this study indicates Coetzees capabilities at achieving the true sense ofidentity through his novels to show the resistance representing a new experienced voice inreconstructing South Africansidentity.
