The goal of the book is to theoretically unpack the social differentials and micro-inequities that practically disempower diverse students in African higher education. To this end, the book features aspects of diversity such as gender, rurality, refugee status and disability in general, with hearing and visual impairment as prime illustrations. It is argued that despite the ethically defensible and socially just policy and structural interventions for transforming higher education meant to redress the legacy of colonial injustices, urban universities present epistemological equity challenges for students from rural communities. Similarly, the opaque fate of students displaced from their home countries and currently studying in universities in host countries is analyzed. The book illustrates the access case for gender and disability in higher education using empirical studies and examples from Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe and South Africa. Challenges facing students in higher education in these countries and the strategies the students devise to succeed in the institutions are analyzed"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Inclusive education $z Africa. 650 0 $a Social justice and education $z Africa. 650 0 $a People with social disabilities $x Education (Higher) $z Africa. 650 7 $a Inclusive education. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00968624 650 7 $a People with social disabilities $x Education (Higher) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01057446 650 7 $a Social justice and education. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02003022 651 7 $a Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239509 700 1 $a Ndofirepi, Amasa, $e editor. 700 1 $a Musengi, Martin, $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Inclusion as social justice $d Leiden ; Boston : Brill | Sense, 2020. $z 9789004434486 $w (DLC) 2020023505 830 0 $a African higher education (Sense Publishers) ; $v v. 5. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020520.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DBE876BEAE9011EDA0B1416654ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
