The authors highlight what specifically motivates their pedagogical affirmations and orientations, analyse why they are concerned with social justice education, and what they envisage the alternative futures of higher education to be – that is, futures in which discrimination, oppression, violence and inequality are waning or have been eradicated.

This book explores the argument to reconsider the idea of a university in light of the African ethic of ubuntu; The question can legitimately be asked: Is an ubuntu university different from an entrepreneurial university, thinking university, and ecological university?
