Abstract :

This article examines the strategic use of narrative techniques in André Brink’s A Chain of Voices and Imaginings of Sand, situating his work within postcolonial theory and debates on cultural resistance in South Africa. It argues that Brink draws on African oral traditions not merely for aesthetic effect, but as politically charged interventions. Through polyphonic storytelling, fragmented temporality, and collective narration, he disrupts colonial and patriarchal discourses. The study explores how Brink’s engagement with orality challenges dominant narrative authority and foregrounds marginalized voices. Ultimately, the article contends that Brink transforms the novel into a space of memory, resistance, and narrative reclamation.
