The Industrial Revolution was a turning point in the world and it caused several major changes for each society during its time and later. Even though it brought many benefits to England, it also ended up with harsh conditions. The thought of having an endless power created a way for Europeans to have an idea of possessing other regions with this power and brought colonization to African countries. However, colonization did not remain only as a policy and did not bring civilization to the countries as it was claimed. It changed the lives, culture, language and traditions of the indigenous people. Furthermore, this practice brought about genocide but not only physically, but also socially and psychologically because the destruction of a society’s culture means destroying that society which leads to social genocide. This study aims to state “social genocide” and “societal racism” terms in post-colonial era and analyze them in the selected works, in the order of; A Bend in the River by V. S. Naipaul and A Grain of Wheat by Ngugi Wa Thiong’o. In this respect, the perspectives of the two writers about colonization, imperialism and social genocide are examined in the light of their other works and other sources related to the topic.
