This engaging summary presents an analysis of Waiting for the Barbarians by J. M. Coetzee, a thought-provoking novel which examines and questions the legitimacy of colonialism through the eyes of its protagonist, an unnamed Magistrate who governs a province that borders lands inhabited by a population of so-called barbarians.
