Sociological foundations of education in Africa: Perspectives, contexts and contemporary issues
Editors: T Runhare and P Gwirayi
Sociological foundations of education in Africa: Perspectives, contexts and contemporary issues is a comprehensive and relevant text that looks at the sociology of education from a local South African and a regional African perspective. It covers a variety of contexts and encourages students to engage critically with the challenges facing African youth in order to empower them.
The book responds to calls for the Africanisation of the education curriculum. It fulfi ls this need both by contextualising international theorists such as Durkheim, Weber, Marx, Mills and Comte, and by infusing the book with Afrocentric scholars such as Asante, Kente, Chukwuokolo and Nyerere.
This book can be used by undergraduate students doing a BEd degree as well as Honours students and those studying for a postgraduate diploma.
