<br/><br/>Includes bibliographical references and index<br/><br/>"This book has a twofold goal: first, through the recounting of their individual stories and personal narratives, the contributors aim to expose the racist and sexist practices that still suffuse the institutional culture of South African universities, despite their public pronouncements about their commitments to 'diversity' and 'transformation'. Their experiences offer the reference points by which to gauge the impact of sexism and racism on the lives of black South African scholars. For readers outside South Africa, they illuminate structural explanations as to why black women face difficulties in the Academy, wherever situated. Secondly, they seek practically to apply the alternative theoretical and methodological frameworks of black feminist thought and womanism to the analysis of the politics of teaching and research in the South African Academy."--BOOK JACKET.<br/><br/>
