About this title

Synopsis

The dominant global discourse in higher education now focuses on 'world-class' universities - inevitably located predominantly in North America, Europe and, increasingly, East Asia. The rest of the world, including Africa, is left to play 'catch-up'. But that discourse should focus rather on the tensions, even contradictions, between 'excellence' and 'engagement' with which all universities must grapple. Here the African experience has much to offer the high-participation and generously resourced systems of the so-called 'developed' world. This book offers a critical review of that experience, and so makes a major contribution to our understanding of higher education.

An online bookseller since 2003, we seek out unusual, scarce, and specialty books, while maintaining a broad selection of general interest titles. Our descriptions attempt to provide a good overall view of each book's condition, but we are always available to answer specific questions and are usually able to do so within 48 hours.

You can be confident your order will arrive in excellent condition. We use the US Postal Service for shipping, so please provide your MAILING address on your order. Thank you for considering our offers. We look forward to serving you.
