This book examines the intersections between education, identity
formation, and language in post-apartheid South Africa with
specific attention to higher education. It does so against the
backdrop of the core argument that the sector plays a critical role
in shaping, (re)producing and perpetuating sectoral, class,
sub-national and national identities, which in turn, in the
peculiar South African setting, are almost invariably analogous
with the historical fault lines determined and dictated by language
as a marker of ethnic and racial identity. The chapters in the book
grapple with the nuances related to these intersections in the
understanding that higher education language policies - overt
and/or covert - largely structure institutional cultures, or what
has been described as curriculum in higher education institutions.
Together, the chapters examine the roles played by higher
education, by language policies, and by the intersections of these
policies and ethnolinguistic identities in either constructing and
perpetuating, or deconstructing ethnolinguistic identities upon
which the sector was founded. The introductory chapter lays out the
background to the entire book with an emphasis on the policy and
practice perspectives on the intersections. The middle chapters
describe the so-called "White Universities", "Black Universities"
and "Middle-Man Minorities Universities". The final chapter maps
out future directions of the discourses on language and identity
formation in South Africa's higher education.
