Analisa-se o conto “Not for publication” (1965), da escritora sulafricanaNadine Gordimer, pela crítica pós-colonial. Os trabalhos literários de
Gordimer denunciam e criticam o colonialismo e suas conseqüências no contexto
do regime do apartheid. O texto retrata o poder do discurso colonial e desmascara
as falsas (às vezes bem-intencionadas) intenções dos colonizadores
referentes ao sujeito colonial representado por Praise Basetse. O pobre menino
negro, manipulado por colonizadores que dedicaram suas vidas aos negros, é
fabricado para que o poder deles continue dominante no país. Praise enfrenta a
necessidade e as dificuldades inerentes à resistência contra a situação. Sua
rebelião revela que o discurso colonial pode ser subvertido. Os resultados mostram
as estratégias que os colonizadores empregam para perpetuar o poder na
colônia e, ao mesmo tempo, a conscientização gradual e silenciosa dos sujeitos
coloniais contra os impedimentos postos a sua autonomia e a sua subjetividade.
Palavras-chave: pós-colonialismo; Gordimer; apartheid; resistência; estratégias.
