US scholars of education and history examine universities in South Africa and Namibia as they struggle to transform their institutional structures from those marred by racial and gender inequities, to more inclusive and equitable ones. In eight case studies of historically White and historically Black colleges, they explore such issues as the historical positions of English- language and Afrikaans-language universities in the education of Black South Africans.
