  • Description: Critics of South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) that sat in the late 1990s have sometimes pointed to its failure to examine the role of larger collectivities in colluding with or acquiescing in the apartheid system. Universities, for instance, have been singled out for their failure both to make submissions to the TRC and to acknowledge openly their past shortcomings during the apartheid era. The historically white, English-medium universities – among them Rhodes University – liked to project themselves as liberal institutions. This book puts this self-representation to the test by looking critically at the operation and functioning of Rhodes University during the segregation and apartheid eras. This study is one of very few that recounts and analyses the whole history of a South African university in a single volume. It covers the founding of Rhodes University College (as it was then called) in 1904, traces its development over the decades, through the attainment of independent status in 1951, ending with a full consideration of the transformation challenges that the university has faced in the post-apartheid era. This is a critical study that points to some of the university’s past failures. But there is also a celebratory dimension, as the book highlights some of the achievements and successes of those who have worked and studied at Rhodes University over the past 112 or so years. , Please note that only the first chapter of the book is available online.
