The Forgotten People
The apartheid state employed many weapons against its opponents: imprisonment, banning, detention, assassination - and banishment. In a practice reminiscent of Tsarist and Soviet Russia, a large number of 'enemies of the state' were banished to remote areas, far from their homes, communities and followers. Here their existence became 'a slow torture of the soul', a kind of social death. This is the first study of an important but hitherto neglected group of opponents of apartheid, set in a global, historical and comparative perspective. It looks at the reasons why people were banished, their lives in banishment and the efforts of a remarkable group of activists, led by Helen Joseph, to assist them. Book jacket.
Black Man, You are on Your Own
Based on an academic study originally commissioned by the Biko Foundation, this work provides an extensive look into the ideology, politics, and organizational features of the Black Consciousness Movement, a grassroots antiapartheid movement in South Africa in the 1960s. With specific attention paid to the South African Student’s Organization (SASO), a group of students who used political actions to combat apartheid, this text argues that the students' legacy was not just about apartheid, but also encompassed critiques of poverty, class, and gender oppression.
Black Student Politics, Higher Education and Apartheid
Black Student Politics, Higher Education and Apartheid examines two black national student political organisations - the South African National Students' Congress (SANSCO) and the South African Students' Organisation (SASO), popularly associated with Black Consciousness. It analyses the ideologies, politics and organisation of SASO and SANSCO and their intellectual, political and social determinants. It also analyses their role in the educational, political and social spheres, and the factors that shaped their activities. Finally, it assesses their contributions to the popular struggle against apartheid education as well as against race, class and gender oppression.

The Call For Diversity
This book explores the organizational responses of professional schools and colleges to pressures, demands, requirements, expectations, and incentives related to diversity. The macro-organizational perspective supplies much-needed balance and complexity to traditional depictions of post-secondary institutions as largely self-motivated in their diversity efforts.
National Policy & a Regional Response in South African Higher Education

The Women's Movement and the Politics of Change at a Women's College
This study analyzes how Jill Ker Conway, first woman president of Smith College, implemented programmatic initiatives and changes to Smith's institutional culture that fit with her vision for higher education.
The Walls around Opportunity
The case for race-conscious education policy In our unequal society, families of color fully share the dream of college but their children often attend schools that do not prepare them, and the higher education system gives the best opportunities to the most privileged. Students of color hope for college but often face a dead end. For many young people, racial inequality puts them at a disadvantage from early childhood. The Walls around Opportunity argues that colorblind policies have made college inaccessible to a large share of students of color, and reveals how policies that acknowledge racial inequalities and set racial equality goals can succeed where colorblindness has failed.
