This paper aims to draw a panorama of the historical context discussed in the works, which includes a post-colonial period and political resistance, social, cultural and economic faced by African societies, one must know the history of the continent and, in particular South Africa - the country of JM Coetzee source and scenario narratives - with emphasis on moments marked by apartheid and post-apartheid which form the context of production of the works analyzed. As pointed out by Frantz Fanon (1979), the time of decolonization, it is usually recognized as replacing a species of men or of a company by another, without a transition, only replacement. However, this notion of clean slate linked to decolonization which is a minimum claim of the colonized, disregards the colonization and decolonization as a historical process because it [...] does not find its intelligibility, does not become transparent to itself is not the exact extent that it makes the historicizing discernible movement that gives it form and content (FANON, 1979, p.26). Based in studies of Frantz Fanon (1979), Rene Lefort (1978), Thomas Bonnici (2000; 2009) and Paulo Visentini (2013), among others.
