Nadine Gordimer's July's People

Nadine Gordimer's anti-Apartheid novel July's People (1981) is a powerful example of resistance writing, and still continues to unsettle easy assumptions about power, race, gender and identity. This guide to the book offers an accessible introduction to the text and its contexts, as well as a critical history of its reception and original and classic essays on key themes.

Part of the Routledge Guides to Literature series, this volume cross-references thoroughly between sections and presents useful suggestions for further reading.
