On reading Xolela
Mangcu’s article last year, “SA’s black academics are getting a raw deal”
(Business Day, November 3 2014), it occurred to me that one of the things that
keeps happening in the public discourse about black academics in historically
white universities is that the texture and detail are being stripped from the
experience of race in the academy.
What dominates is the
problem of quantity – a bean-counting exercise.
