The goal of this work is to provide a fresh, new look at major white writers and theorists in South African literature published in the period from 1948 until 2005. Understanding the subtle support of colonial ideology and the kind of theoretical doublespeak that Alan Paton uses, for example, forces the reader to question not only the content and the context of Cry, the Beloved Country, but also its meta-language and stylistic devices that rely on the old colonial myth of the white man whose mission in the New World is to save black heathens from sin and "unchristian" living.
