| Summary: | This article is an attempt to go through Nadine Gordimer's The Conservationist in order to present a postcolonial reading of it in the light of Homi K. Bhabha's Ideas. First, we are going to discuss the significance of the novel and give an outline of what happens in it. We will then focus on the style of narration, characterization and the context (The Apartheid and Zulu culture). The article presents the clash of European cultures and the indigenous cultures, and brings forward the concept of "cultural hybridity." It also lays bare the ruptures and ambivalences hidden within the discourse of power, and refers to Homi Bhabha's concept of "mimicry" as a sly strategy for intervening in and disrupting the master narrative. In short, for Bhabha, hybridity and mimicry are in fact strategies of survival in the time of oppression. |
