- Description
- The articles address the racist and sexist practices that persist in South African universities and propose applying black feminist thought and womanism to the analysis of the politics of teaching and research to the academy there. The international contributors cover topics as the image of the black intellectual, the intersection of race, gender and culture in higher education. The contributions include personal narratives about the writers' experiences as black women in South African universities, including the effects of marginalization on the self and the power of language.
