Gender Race & Narrative in Coetzee

In his book, "Gender Race & Narrative in Coetzee," Mohammed Ahmeduddin explores the intersection of gender, race, and narrative in the works of South African author J.M. Coetzee. The book is situated within a postcolonial context, highlighting the impact of apartheid and colonialism on the identities of individuals and the larger society. Ahmeduddin delves into Coetzee's literary portrayal of the dynamics of power, oppression, and subjugation in relation to issues of gender and race. The author examines the role of language and narrative in constructing and perpetuating stereotypes and assumptions, and the ways in which Coetzee's works challenge and subvert these dominant discourses. The book also delves into Coetzee's exploration of masculinity and femininity, and the complex relationships between them. Ahmeduddin investigates the themes of memory, trauma, and history in Coetzee's works, examining the ways in which they shape individual and collective identities. Throughout the book, Ahmeduddin employs a range of critical lenses, including postmodernism, psychoanalysis, symbolism, and intersectionality, to illuminate the complexities of Coetzee's work. Ultimately, the book provides a powerful analysis of the ways in which literature can engage with issues of social justice, resistance, and humanism.
