The Revolution in Nadine Gordimer's July's People

Abstract

Nadine Gordimer's themes make it clear to us that South Africa is still under the grip of a` virus' socially and politically. The themes are dealt against the background of the apartheid system. Gordimer novels show a clear pattern of political argument. This is an article on the changing power of relationship between the whites and blacks as the structural under pinning's of white rule are removed, leaving the former white employers very much at the behest of their servant July, who now has almost the power of life and death over the fugitive Smales. Being the whites living among the blacks as refugees, depending upon July without any relationship, trying to hide their identity crisis in cohabitation among the opposites. This article  potrays us how a white woman who is well habituated to the apartheid world cannot bear and get accustomed to the cultural differences and desperately yearns for a white society.
