Abstract:The author analyses J.M. Coetzee's four novels and shows that they all are situated in colonial times (be it American colonialism, colonialism of an imaginary empire or the colonization of body or mind) and that they deal with one or other of the various aspects of colonialism (the relationship between master and servant or overlord and slave, entailing the combination of sadism and masochism).
