ISBN: 9780868106120 A critical study that points to some of the university's past failures. Universities have been singled out for their failure to make submissions to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and to own to shortcomings during the apartheid era. The historically white English universitites preferred to present themselves as liberal institutions, so Maylam put this idea to the test by looking critically at the operation and functioning of Rhodes University during the segregation and apartheid eras.
