The teaching and research of the Classics in South Africa are
deeply rooted in the racial, political and educational inequalities
which have characterised its turbulent history. In this original
study, Michael Lambert opens three windows on to this history,
using the creation of identities as his theoretical lens. The
foundation of the Classical Association of South Africa in 1956 and
the cultural reinforcement of Afrikaner nationalist identity; the
deployment of British colonial identity in public discourses about
the role of the Classics in apartheid South Africa at an
English-speaking university; and the exploration of black African
identities in response to the teaching of the Classics at
missionary institutions, where 'vocational training' was locked in
combat with a classical education, regarded by an educated black
elite as the means for upward social mobility in a
highly-stratified colonial society. The book will be of interest to
students of many subjects, including Classics, Cultural Studies,
African Studies and History of Education.
