Question

THE SUMMARY OF POET NOTHING CHANGED BY ZULFICAR

Answer 1

In the poem Nothing’s Changed, Tatamkhulu Afrika, on his return, imagines and hopes for a more just and less racially-divided country, but, to his surprise, no such change is seen anywhere. The situations have become even worse on the way of brutality, exploitation and discrimination has changed. And this poem reveals the very fact, and the poet’s bitter disappointment toward the prevalent racism. The attitude of Nothing’s Changed is revengeful and tragic. It is a protest, and a cry of pain. Rather than the white culture feeling guilt and making some kind of recompense for its years of oppression and murder, the ‘brash’ restaurant still symbolizes confidence, even arrogance, certainly not shame.
