This short story, by Nadine Gordimer, overall, speaks on the deep-seethed racial tension that influenced the individuals in this... story. In essence it is about a presumably white woman being mugged by an equally presumable black male (Gordimer is from South Africa and frequently wrote about racial tension). The tension in this story is so saturating that it even manages to conquer the language, imagery, and actions of the two people involved.
The first paragraph reads, “It was a cool grey morning...

If literature is seen as content, it can be dealt with in the same way as any other content, such as specialised content in the field of English for Specific Purposes where the specialist for the content works hand in hand with the language teacher.

“Country Lovers” by Nadine Gordimer (1975) is about forbidden inter-racial love between a rich white farm owner's son (Paulus) and a poor, young black slave girl (Thebedi) who works on the farm. The story is set on a South African Farm and we follow these two children as they grow into a young man and young woman. The main theme of the story...

It is typical for people to be prejudiced, yet prejudice can cause major misunderstandings and problems. Significant prejudice occurs in... Nadine Gordimer’s story, “The Moment Before the Gun Went Off,” based on Marais Van der Vyver, a white South African farmer in the time of Apartheid who has a secret – a black son that nobody knows about. As the story progresses, we realise how many misunderstandings are caused by his secret and the negative effects the misunderstandings lead to. When Van der Vyver...
Paranoia and fear can really take a toll on one’s life, causing one to harm oneself and others around them. Paranoia is defined as “a... mental disorder characterized by systematized delusions and the projection of personal conflicts, which are ascribed to the supposed hostility of others, sometimes progressing to disturbances of consciousness and aggressive acts believed to be performed in self-defense or as a mission.” This definition of paranoia applies to Nadine Gordimer’s characters in her...
Nadine Gordimer's &July's People& is a fictional novel which reveals many harsh realities of South Africa.

Throughout her career, the South African novelist Nadine Gordimer has wanted to explore the terrain where personal... interests, desires and ambitions encounter (and, not rarely, contend with) the demands and trials of a politically active life.
