Sello Duiker’s Thirteen Cents (2000) and Phaswane Mpe’s Welcome to Our Hillbrow (2001). Against the background of post-colonial and transcultural theories, I explore the effects of homelessness on select characters depicted in the two novels, particularly how homelessness and its effects impact on the characters’ identity and human dignity, as some of the themes which the two authors deal with. I achieve this through a close analysis of themes, characterisation and style as well as a demonstration of how the metaphor of the plight of the homeless is drawn from the experiences of the homeless characters portrayed in the novels. I establish, through this study, that the two novels depict characters on whose identity and human dignity, colonialism had an adverse impact. I argue that the corroded dignity and identity of the select homeless characters can be restored through the application of the tenets of transcultural theory. I consistently identify the central morals of the two novels under study as highlighting the need for society to address the plight central to the two novels’ major themes of homelessness, poverty, identity and human dignity against the backdrop of postcoloniality and transculturalism.enUniversity of VendaDepictionUCTDHomelessnessPovertyPost-colonialTranscultural theoriesIdentityHuman dignityColonialism809.933556Homelessness -- South AfricaHomeless persons -- South AfricaPoverty -- South AfricaPoor -- South AfricaBegging -- South AfricaHomelessness in literaturePoverty in literatureEnglish fiction -- History and criticismDissertationMahori F.
