About this title

Synopsis

This landmark study focuses on the dilemmas facing the Jewish community in South Africa as it struggles to redefine its identity in light of the sweeping global forces of neo-liberalism and fundamentalism. Two divergent, yet connected, tendencies in current educational transformation are examined: the application of managerial approaches to school managment and the resurgence of ethnic and religious communities in search of their identity.

About the Author

Chaya Herman is a senior lecturer in the department of educational management and policy studies at the University of Pretoria–South Africa who has served on the South African Board of Jewish Education.
