Answer Details

The writer suggests that there is very little hope for genuine change by the coup which takes place towards the end of the novel. The coup signifies a change in government, but it does not necessarily bring about positive change. Rather, it is merely a transfer of power from one corrupt group to another, as evidenced by the actions of the new military government. This suggests that the underlying structures and systems that allow for corruption and exploitation are still in place, and therefore true change is unlikely to occur without a fundamental transformation of society.
