Review:
.,."an extremely well-written analysis that brings together an enormous amount of imformation to help the reader understand the situation of education in South Africa more fully than ever before. Dr, Abdi examines education in South Africa through a theoretical as well as practical lens, offering insights, for example, about multiculturalism in that region of the world which resonate with, and add a dimension to, our understanding of muticulturalism in other parts of the world."-Ailie Cleghorn Associate Professor of Education Concordia University, Montreal, Quebec
"This is a cleverly articulated book that brings a refreshing critique and interrogation to the understanding of educational processes and the role of education in development in South Africa...The book demonstrates how dicursive power and political practice have to continually shape social and educational change in South Africa. The book raises some important challenges not only for South Africa, but for all countries who are veering into the raod of educational equity and social justice for the minoritized and disadvantaged."-George J. Sefa Dei Professor & Associate Chair, Sociology and Equity Studies OISE, University of Toronto
