This book focuses on understandings of higher education in relation to notions of decoloniality
and decolonization in southern Africa. The volume draws on a range of case studies in multiple
politico-cultural contexts on the African continent and examines some of the challenges to be
overcome in order to achieve education for decolonization and decoloniality. Acknowledging that
patterns of exclusion inequality and injustice are still prevalent in the African higher
education landscape the editors and contributors proffer bold attempts at democratizing
education and examine how to cultivate just equal and diverse pedagogical relations. Featuring
case studies from South Africa Zambia Malawi and Zimbabwe the authors and editors examine
how higher education can be further democratized and transformed along the lines of equality
liberty and recognition of diversity. This hopeful and bold collection will be of interest to
scholars of decoloniality and decolonization in higher education as well as higher education
in southern Africa more specifically.
