ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The first two sections of this review draw extensively from Steenveld (Citation2006) in which media education at Rhodes is discussed as part of a broader argument about the contextual location of journalism education in South Africa.
Notes
1. Jeanne du Toit, interview with Les Switzer, 2008.
2. See Posel (Citation1983) for a review of the “race”–class debate in terms of renewed neo-Marxist theorizing; see Jubber (1983) and Webster (Citation1991) for an assessment of the impact of Marxism on sociology departments in South Africa in the 1980s.
3. One MA thesis at this time was on graffiti as a form of popular media, and the student, Michael Markowitz, organized a team of township graffiti producers. The thesis was supervised by Don Pinnock.
4. In 1951 the Eiselen Commission into education came up with concept “Bantu Education”, which was enacted by the National Party in the Bantu Education Act of 1953. With its focus on practical skills, the aim of “Bantu Education” was to prepare Africans for a subordinate position in the workplace (Davenport, Citation1991, p. 535).
