Reversal of Power Relations in J.M. Coetzee’s Disgrace

Abstract

J. M. Coetzee’s Disgrace presents a subtle and multilayered story as much concerned with politics as it is with the itch of male flesh.Post-colonial and post-apartheid South African complexity roots back to its colonization and apartheid. Thus still the white David like people has the early hangover of the colonial and apartheid and Petrus,Three black invaders like people have the revenge ego against the white’s domination, and so called superiority. White people’s alienation and support to the black’s rules and regulation is the true sense of reversed power relations.
