Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
John Maxwell Coetzee has established himself through his intellectual contribution to the postcolonial feminism literature and South African slavery epoch. His novels can be read as a reflection on Black and white women subjugation in all its complexity, commenting upon many positions typical of radical feminism. From the perspective of the colonizer, the woman was doubly feminized by codes of race and gender. This research aims to investigate the Black and white female Other from the postcolonial feminist perspective of Coetzee’s selected novels namely, Dusklands, In the Heart of the Country, Waiting for the Barbarians, Foe, Age of Iron, and Disgrace. To achieve this objective, the postcolonial feminism theory was applied using discursive strategy as a method for textual analysis to reflect the socio-political scenarios of postcolonial South Africa. The study further reveals how white colonisation subjugated both white and Black females of South Africa resulting in a moral crisis of the white male colonisers. The research findings revealed Coetzee’s ability to reflect colonial patriarchy as an ideology that discriminated against Africans and Black and white females alike. However, the findings also revealed the forms of resistance employed by the subjugated females in order to break free from the oppression imposed on them. Based on the findings, it could be concluded that, although race and gender are social constructs, they continue as an identity imperative constituent in contemporary South Africa. Consequently, in discussing race and patriarchy, specific significance was given for the white and black women status as a critical issue for individual development and vital theme for investigating their setting. By drawing on the postcolonial patriarchal context it could be implied that this study will significantly contribute to future research on patriarchy and postcolonial patriarchy, as important phenomena in other postcolonial literature.
