Identity, discrimination and violence in Bessie Head's trilogyMhlahlo, Corwin Luthuli 30 November 2002 (has links)
This dissertation seeks to explore the perceived intricate relationship that exists between
constructed identity, discrimination and violence as portrayed in Bessie Head's trilogy
from varying perspectives, including aspects of postcoloniality, materialist feminism and liminality.
Starting with a background to some of the origins of racial hybridity in Southern Africa,
it looks at how racial identity has subsequently influenced the course of Southern African history
and thereafter explores historical and biographical information deemed relevant to an
understanding of the dissertation.
Critical explorations of each text in the trilogy follow, in which the apparent affinities that exist
between identity, discrimination and violence are analysed and displayed. In conclusion the
trilogy is discussed from a largely sociological perspective of hope in a utopian society. / English Studies / M.A.(English)
