Abstract

Introduction Higher education in South Africa has experienced many changes since the first democratic elections in 1994. Despite a shift toward racial integration and broader participation, this chapter argues that the academy in South Africa, previously a vital cog in the reproduction of racial capitalism, today continues to entrench inequality by embracing a neoliberal, market-oriented ideology-rhetorical flourishes in policy papers notwithstanding.
