Zusammenfassung: | While African universities retain their core function as primary institutions for advancement of knowledge, they have undergone fundamental changes in this regard. Constraining these changes is largely the failure to recognize the encroachment of the profit motive into the academy, or a shift from a public good knowledge/learning regime to a neo-liberal knowledge/learning regime. Neo-liberalism, with its emphasis on the economic and market function of the university, rather than the social function, is increasingly destabilizing higher education particularly in the domain of knowledge, making it increasingly unresponsive to local social and cultural needs. Under such circumstances, African humanist progressive virtues (e.g. social solidarity, compassion, positive human relations and citizenship), democratic principles (equity and social justice) and the commitment to decolonization ideals guided by altruism and common good, are under serious threat. The book goes a long way in unraveling how African universities can respond to these challenges at the levels of institutional management, academic scholarship, the structure of knowledge production and distribution, institutional culture, policy, and curriculum. |

Constraining these changes is largely the failure to recognize the encroachment of the profit motive into the academy, or a shift from a public good knowledge/learning regime to a neo-liberal knowledge/learning regime. Neo-liberalism, with its emphasis on the economic and market function of the university, rather than the social function, is increasingly destabilizing higher education particularly in the domain of knowledge, making it increasingly unresponsive to local social and cultural needs. Under such circumstances, African humanist progressive virtues (e.g. social solidarity, compassion, positive human relations and citizenship), democratic principles (equity and social justice) and the commitment to decolonization ideals guided by altruism and common good, are under serious threat. The book goes a long way in unraveling how African universities can respond to these challenges at the levels of institutional management, academic scholarship, the structure of knowledge production and distribution, institutional culture, policy, and curriculum.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="588" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Print version record.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Universities and colleges</subfield><subfield code="z">Africa.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Educational change</subfield><subfield code="z">Africa.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Education, Higher</subfield><subfield code="x">Aims and objectives</subfield><subfield code="z">Africa.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Universités</subfield><subfield code="z">Afrique.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Enseignement</subfield><subfield code="x">Réforme</subfield><subfield code="z">Afrique.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Enseignement supérieur</subfield><subfield code="x">Finalités</subfield><subfield code="z">Afrique.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">EDUCATION</subfield><subfield code="x">Higher.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Education, Higher</subfield><subfield code="x">Aims and objectives</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Educational change</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Universities and colleges</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Africa</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJkHrMyfHC67yqRTycbrv3</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Essay</subfield><subfield code="0">https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D020474</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">essays.</subfield><subfield code="2">aat</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Instructional and educational works</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Essays</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Instructional and educational works.</subfield><subfield code="2">lcgft</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026114</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Essays.</subfield><subfield code="2">lcgft</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026094</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Matériel d'éducation et de formation.</subfield><subfield code="2">rvmgf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Essais.</subfield><subfield code="2">rvmgf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Cross, Michael,</subfield><subfield code="d">1952-</subfield><subfield code="e">editor,</subfield><subfield code="e">author.</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCjJYgYGpPwptvmbWdWK8G3</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/nb91369714</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Ndofirepi, Amasa.</subfield><subfield code="e">editor,</subfield><subfield code="e">author.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2017049925</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="758" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">has work:</subfield><subfield code="a">Re-imagining the Terrain Volume 2 Knowledge and change in African universities (Text)</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCGhHKfQJwvVxwFBwwtvF4y</subfield><subfield code="4">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="t">Knowledge and change in African universities.
