- Description
- Mamdani reflects on the "crisis" of African universities by comparing South African struggles with those in Ethiopia and Uganda. He argues against "institutional reform" that merely changes the skin color of the faculty without changing the orientation of research. He calls for "rooting African universities in African soil" to serve the actual needs of the public.
