- Description
- Set against the backdrop of global instability following 9/11, Alexander examines the "symbolic power" of language in South African education. He argues that the post-apartheid university has a democratic responsibility to promote multilingualism to prevent the marginalization of the majority and to decolonize the South African mind.
