African Renaissance and Higher Education

This book addresses the crucial intersection between
the African Renaissance and higher education. While
using the case of Christian higher education in South
Africa, the value of this Renaissance-style book,
extends beyond the impact of the phenomena on
religious affairs in South Africa into all aspects of
present-day African life. Africans cannot deny that
the core influence of the phenomena, i.e., to
revalidate African traditions in the face of
challenges such as post-colonialism, neocolonialism,
and globalization, is sweeping the continent, thus an
understanding of its impact is crucial in situating
African perspectives in regards to African identity
in academia and other spheres.
