Why are so many black scholars in South Africa leaving the academy? In what ways does subtle—and sometimes overt—racial exclusion continue to be part of the everyday university experience for those who remain? In the context of ongoing debates in South Africa about the need for transformation and decolonization in the realm of higher education, Black Academic Voices presents personal accounts that directly address these questions.
