‘July’s People’ by Nadine Gordimer presents the utopian vision in which the system
of apartheid has been overturned. First the fiction addresses social dogmas set by the white
Africans which become the cause of disgrace for the black Africans. But with the beginning of
2nd half of the twentieth century, how they raise the question of their equality in the society and
how they simultaneously reject the elements of discrimination on the basis of their color and
race, it would be interrogated. The paper would further describe the presentation of a utopia in
the form of reverse of power and how this downfall brings the forced existence of the Smales’
(white) family among the dominated black community of July, their ex-servant. It would find
what difficulties the white families may face if this utopia is turned into reality. This study is a
descriptive and textual analysis of the text ‘Julys’ people’ would help to find out the details and
concluding arguments in this regard.
