This book signals to us that the postcolonial university is within our reach, that progress can be made in leaps and bounds. The book’s publication shows that the adoption of decolonising practices in teaching and learning and research places us at the threshold of the decolonial. The ambition of “developing a South African narrative around Dante—of determining in what sense Dante ‘speaks’ to us as South African readers and whether we might build a community of scholars, students and writers with this shared vision” demonstrates how academics and students can rise to the challenge of changing the university.
