Résumé :

This paper on slave rebellion in André Philippus Brink’s An Instant in the Wind foregrounds master-slave dialectics in the context of slavery in South Africa. Seen through the prism of postcolonialism, this work seeks to highlight slaves’ reaction to the lot of abasements inflicted to them by their bosses, and their search of freedom. Victims of the slaveholding discourse of the Cape white masters, the indentured people methodically lead a peaceful revolt which quickly culminates into a violent showdown. All these postcolonial struggles have a hopeful outcome through both the auto-critique slavery system of thought, the collapse of differences.
