“This book explores the challenge of dismantling colonial schooling and how entangled
power relations of the past have lingered in post-apartheid South Africa. It examines
the 'on the ground' history of colonialism from the vantage point of a small town
in the Karoo region, showing how patterns of possession and dispossession have played
out in the municipality and schools. Using the strong political and ontological critique
of decoloniality theories, the book demonstrates the ways in which government interventions
over many years have allowed colonial relations and the construction of racialised
differences to linger in new forms, including unequal access to schooling. Written
in an accessible style, the book considers how the dream of decolonial schooling might
be realised, from the vantage point of research on the margins. This Karoo region
also offers an interesting case study as the site where the world's largest radio
telescope was recently located and highlights the contrasting logics of international
'big science' and local development needs. This book will be of interest to academics
and scholars in the education field as well as to social geographers, sociologists,
human geographers, historians and policy makers.”--Publisher's description
