- More about Language and Institutional Identity in the Post-Apartheid South African Higher Education: Perspectives on Policy and Practice
This book explores the intersections of education, identity formation, and language in post-apartheid South Africa, particularly in higher education. It argues that language policies shape institutional cultures and perpetuate or deconstruct ethnolinguistic identities, and the chapters examine the roles played by higher education, language policies, and ethnolinguistic identities in this process.

This comprehensive book delves into the intricate intersections of education, identity formation, and language in post-apartheid South Africa, with a particular focus on higher education. It does so against the backdrop of the central argument that the sector plays a pivotal role in shaping, (re)producing, and perpetuating sectoral, class, sub-national, and national identities, which, in the unique South African context, are almost invariably analogous with the historical fault lines determined and dictated by language as a marker of ethnic and racial identity. The book's chapters engage with the nuances related to these intersections, recognizing that higher education language policies, both overt and covert, largely shape institutional cultures, often referred to as the curriculum in higher education institutions. Collectively, the chapters explore the roles played by higher education, language policies, and the intersections of these policies and ethnolinguistic identities in either constructing and perpetuating or deconstructing ethnolinguistic identities upon which the sector was founded.
The introductory chapter sets the stage for the entire book, providing a background that emphasizes policy and practice perspectives on the intersections. The middle chapters delve into the concept of "White Universities," "Black Universities," and "Middle-Man Minorities Universities." Finally, the concluding chapter outlines future directions for the discourses on language and identity formation in South Africa's higher education.
