DEH as part of its faculty development programme conducted yet another seminar on Thursday, December 1, 2011 in room no 401. Ms.Nadia Rahman, Sr. Lecturer, DEH presented her paper titled “ July’s People” a novel by Nadine Gordimer in which she portrayed the post-apartheid period of the blacks in South Africa overtaking gradually their political power over the white hegemonic colonial domination. She discussed the topic quite in detail by referring to the historical background of oppression suffered by the black communities and the way they resisted the European colonization for their basic human rights and freedom. The two most important characters July and Maurin exposed the conflict between the whites and the blacks in which ideological boundaries favouring the whites historically are broken down by the black protesting for their individual rights in their own land. Finally Maurin taking shelter in the custodianship of her servant July breaks free for a discovery of her own image as a woman symbolizing the end of her white authority over her servant gradually gaining voice for rights. The presentation was applauded by the audience comprising the head of the department, DEH faculty and students. It came to a close after a lively question answer round.
