Recenzii
'This is an exceptional contribution to our understanding of what actually happens to challenging curriculum ideas in higher education. Politically wise and clearly written, this volume deserves a wide audience among all of those who care about creating a more socially and culturally responsive education.' Michael W. Apple, University of Wisconsin
'The movement to 'decolonize' South African universities has produced far more heat than light. In this sober, brave, deeply empathetic book, Jansen and Walters look beyond the slogans and posturing to illuminate not only the failings but also the achievements and possibilities of the struggle for radical educational change.' James T. Campbell, Stanford University
'This theoretically contextualized investigation situates the problem of doing radical curriculum transformation within the dynamics of institutional intransigence, biographies of academic innovators, and the struggle for epistemic justice. It has profound intellectual and practical significance for academics and activists in South Africa and beyond.' Joyce King, Georgia State University
'This book sheds new light on how we understand reform, the ideas that inform it, the path those ideas follow, and implementation. The notion of an institutional curriculum could allow real transformation. This is a book for institutional leaders and the broader community to learn from and inform their reform projects.' Teboho Moja, New York University
'Easy to understand and entertaining, this book informs, theorises, and unpacks some of the knottiest issues in higher education. Its complex arguments about decolonisation and curriculum revision will reach and benefit a wide readership in (South) Africa and beyond, including academics and non-experts. A refreshing achievement!' Chika C. Mba, University of Ghana
