Abstract

Disgrace is a famous novel written by the award-winning Nobel laureate J.M. Coetzee. The novel highlights the disturbing situation in post-apartheid era when South Africa witnessed the change of power shifting from the Whites to the blacks. It presents the suffering and hardship of the whites after losing their supremacy in post-apartheid period when the practice of racial segregation was abolished in the year 1994. In this troubled situation, there are attempts of reconciliation of races forwarded by some institutions like (TRC). However, these attempts of reconciliation failed because agitation and rage between whites and blacks and the process of accepting each other through certain compensations and paybacks like rape and brutality still exist. The whites still feel that they are supreme in all aspects of life, therefore. They find it difficult to coexist in society and reconcile with the Africans. This paper reflects vividly on the racial conflict and the crisis of reconciliation through a story of rape, sexuality, and violence.
