BIBLIOGRAPHY

Biography

Peter Kallaway is professor emeritus at University of the Western Cape. He also an honorary Research Associate at University of Cape Town, South Africa.

"Peter Kallaway's new work is a superb evocation of the cultures of colonial education, persuasively assessing their impact on policies and lives in our own time, and demanding the attention not only of colonial historians of Africa, but of educators worldwide."

Gary McCulloch, Brian Simon Professor of History of Education, UCL Institute of Education, London.

"The book is exceptional in its efforts at situating South Africa’s colonial education history  within  the  wide-ranging  themes  of  domination,  exploitation,  oppression,  and control, which characterizes the history of colonial education across other colo-nized parts of Africa."
