Not only does this volume, using the rich framework of Nancy Fraser's work, provide trenchant analyses of the injustices of the South African system of higher education. It also provides a brilliant and appreciative summary of Fraser's evolving theory of justice as participatory parity. Because Fraser is one of the most important political thinkers of her generation, this practical application of her work is an essential guide to contemporary praxis. Joan Tronto, Professor Emerita, Department of Political Science, University of Minnesota Drawing from Fraser's powerful multidimensional justice framework, this collection provides much needed theorisation, insight and analyses of higher education, exploring the dynamic inter-relationship between, within and across economic, cultural, political and ecological injustices. Providing forms of critique that are imperative for reimagining and reframing higher education structures, practices and deeply embedded inequalities, this outstanding collection will contribute to transformative justice in the context of South Africa and beyond. It is a must read for all those committed to equity and social justice in higher education. Professor Penny Jane Burke, Global Innovation Chair of Equity Director, Centre of Excellence for Equity in Higher Eduaction.
