In 2015, students at the University of Cape Town used the slogan
#RhodesMustFall to demand that a monument of Cecil John Rhodes, the
empire builder of British South Africa, be removed from the
university campus. Soon students at Oxford University called for
the removal of a statue of Rhodes from Oriel College. The radical
idea of decolonization at the forefront of these student protests
continues to be a key element in South African educational
institutions as well as those in Europe and North America. This
book explores the uptake of decolonization in the institutional
curriculum, given the political demands for decolonization on South
African campuses, and the generally positive reception of the idea
by university leaders. Based on interviews with more than two
hundred academic teachers at ten universities, this is an
innovative account of how institutions have engaged with,
subverted, and transformed the decolonization movement since
#RhodesMustFall.
