The changing face of colonial education in Africa

Abstract

The author of this work is Peter Kallaway, Emeritus Professor, University of the Western Cape, and Research Associate, School of Education, University of Cape Town. Kallaway is one of the foremost authorities on history of education in South Africa. He is a prolific writer of many books and academic articles about the history of education under apartheid in South Africa and British colonial Africa. His highly valued edited works include Apartheid and Education: The Education of Black South Africans (Johannesburg: Raven, 1984), The History of Education under Apartheid, 1948–1995 (New York: Peter Lang Publishers, 2002), and Education after Apartheid (Cape Town: University of Cape Town Press, 1997). The publication of a new book by Kallaway always creates interest among academics, because he is known for his accurate research and deep understanding of the African colonial world and education in South Africa.
