“Coetzee’s History in Waiting for the Barbarians, Dusklands, and Life and Times of Michael K.” Studies on English Language & Literature. 36.1(2010): 159-177. This paper seeks to read Coetzee’s understanding of history revealed in his novel. It uses Hegelian history as a lens to look at how he understands and criticizes the imperialistic history which involves re-ordering, modification and omitting according to the interest of authoritative groups. With the nature of this imposing inscription of history, the vivid examples Coetzee implements in his stories will be explored as to how he urges his readers in general to see through the apparent purport and move on from the distorted history writing.
