Abstract
The present research examines the awful context of widespread violence in
Gordimer’ss The House Gunand comes to the conclusion of the urgency of the
cultural constructivism in the post-apartheid country of South Africa.It explores
through the illustration of a new type of modern family going through the way of
individualism, where they face severecrime from the hand of a homosexual
prominent character Duncan.This post-apartheid country has lots of social challenges
in store for the black and the white victims together.Black characters are seen
through the cunning eye and are reluctantly accepted even though the white fate has
been controlled by the former.As there is the need of recovery, this research aims at
reconstructing the binaries between the black and the white with the renewal of
cultures.
