Description: "The challenges which face South African Higher Education are both topically diverse and historically marked by the legacies of its colonial and apartheid past. Transcending these conditions in order to reach emancipatory, inclusive and developmentally apt solutions will continue to test our creative and intellectual expertise, ingenuity and judgement. This book is an important contribution in this process. Towards the end of the last century, in the immediate wake of the post-apartheid era, a cohort of concerned and exceptional South African scholars brought their minds to bear on the challenges facing higher education in the country. Their ruminations resulted in an incisive volume; Black Perspective(s) in Tertiary Institutional Transformation (1998), edited by Sipho Seepe. Almost a quarter of a century later, this same cohort, with a few additions and subtractions, have revisited the terrain with penetrating insights and revealing historical hindsight. This book, Tertiary Institutional Transformation in South Africa Revisited (2020), is the result of their trenchant endeavours. This text has therefore enormous historical significance, now and for the future. It marks indelible milestones in the thinking about higher education in South Africa and throws up diachronic and synchronic issues, by some of its prominent and best minds."--
