Unisa 1873-2018: The making of a distance learning university
presents a critical appraisal of Unisa's transformation as it
navigates the unfolding saga of South Africa's political
development. The history of Unisa is fraught with a complex,
oft-times ambiguous and contradictory, relationship with the state.
This official history of the University of South Africa provides a
platform on which future narratives around Unisa can be
constructed. As a distinctly colonial institution, Unisa was a site
of friction between the colonial powers and nascent captive forces
of Afrikaner nationalism and white supremacist ideology. The
character of present day Unisa allows for the expression of
alternative and dissenting opinions despite its proximity to a
constitutionally crafted state in its pursuit of the `African
university in service of humanity'. This is highlighted in the
motifs of transformation, Africanisation and democratisation
explored in the book. Unisa 1873-2018 captures the university's
transitions from an examining body to one that has fully embraced
open distance and e-learning, more attuned to student needs. It
delineates Unisa's shift to a more representative and African
orientated institution serving the needs of the continent.
