""It was an extremely clever decision to focus on universities to investigate visual culture as part of social and political change in South Africa. . . . In exploring decisions and controversies ranging across monuments, memorials, and independent artworks, as well as university crests and regalia, this study provides a fascinating microcosm of the production of visual culture in post-apartheid South Africa, engaging with thorny issues that provide insights for the wider practice and reception of art."" --Elizabeth Rankin, professor of art history, University of Auckland
