Question about Disgrace by JM Coetzee
Are we supposed to know the race of the attackers? Most of the characters introduced so far in the book seemed to be white South Africans, and I assumed that the attackers at Lucy's farm were also white South Africans. However, it was only on page 110 that I first found a reference to the race of the attackers, where David imagines how much pleasure they must have taken in killing the dogs, as the dogs are a tool and symbol of the black man's oppression.
Are there clues earlier in the text that make the attackers race clear? Am I the only one who assumed they were white?
