Postcolonial studies is a set of theoretical approaches that analyze colonial discourse, with an emphasis on the consequences of colonialism. In her futuristic novel July People, South African author and political activist Nadine Gordimer explores the conflict between whites and blacks, answering the question of what happens when one side considers itself racially and culturally superior to the other. She paints a fictional picture of a transitional period in South Africa’s colonial history in which the white Smales family and their black servant are replaced by their white family. Using key postcolonial concepts, especially Homily Babba and Antonio Gramsci’s ideas on place, displacement, hybridization, hegemony, and acculturation, and using a descriptive-analytical method, the present study explores the consequences of changing power relations between the colonizer and the colonized, especially their identity aspects, in the story. With a deconstructive approach and emphasizing the relative and unstable nature of power relations, Gordimer points out that for peaceful coexistence in the post-apartheid era, it is necessary for the colonizer to deeply reconsider its economic, ideological, racial, and cultural assumptions.
