Opis

Nadine Gordimer's anti-Apartheid novel 'July's People' is a powerful example of resistance writing, and still continues to unsettle easy assumptions about power, race, and gender. This guide to the book offers an accessible introduction to the text and its contexts, as well as a critical history of its reception.
