- Summary:
- Teaching the classics in South Africa is very much complicated and influenced by the racial, educational, and political inequalities that have punctuated its history. In this study, Lambert (literary studies, media, and creative arts, U. of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa) utilizes identities as his theoretical lens to, as he says, open windows onto the history of the reception of the classics. He addresses the classics as they relate to Afrikaner, English-speaking South African, and Black South African identities. The book will interest students and readers of classics, cultural and African studies, and education history. Distributed by International Publishers Marketing.
