Decolonising Knowledge and Knowers: Struggles for University Transformation in South Africa

Mlamuli Nkosingphile Hlatshwayo, "Decolonising Knowledge and Knowers: Struggles for University Transformation in South Africa "
English | ISBN: 0367618826 | 2022 | 124 pages | PDF | 3 MB

Decolonising Knowledge and Knowers contributes to the current struggles for decolonising education in the global South, focusing on the highly illuminating case of South African higher education. Galvanised by #FeesMustFall and #RhodesMustFall student protests, South Africa has seen particularly intense and broad social engagement with debates over decolonising universities.

In contrast, Decolonising Knowledge and Knowers shows how conceptual tools, specifically from Legitimation Code Theory, can be enacted in research and teaching to meaningfully work towards productive decolonisation. Each chapter addresses a key issue in contemporary debates in South African higher education and show how practices concerning knowledge and knowers are playing a role, drawing on quantitative and qualitative research, praxis, and interdisciplinary research.
