The dominant global discourse in higher education now focuses on'world-class universities - inevitably located predominantly in North America, Europe and, increasingly, East Asia. The rest of the world, including Africa, is left to play'catch-up. But that discourse should focus rather on the tensions, even contradictions, between'excellence and'engagement with which all universities must grapple. Here the African experience has much to offer the high-participation and generously resourced s ystems of the so-called'developed world. This book offers a critical review of that experience, and so makes a major contribution to our understanding of higher education.
