CONFINEMENT AND STRUGGLE FOR LIBERATION IN JOHN MAXWELL COETZEE'S LIFE AND TIMES OF MICHAEL K

Abstract

The African countries were colonised by the European countries and they segregated the native people under apartheid system. The colonial rule suppressed the native people so they fought vigorously to obtain independence. Human rights were violated by the colonisers and they ill treated the colonised people. During Apartheid era the native people were forced to abandon their homes and made to stay in the camps where they were confined like prisoners. People were forced to work in the factories, estates, farms owned by the colonisers. The camps which they were made to stay were controlled by the colonisers.
