Abstract South Africa’s social and educational historiography has rarely singled out specific bantustans for special attention; rather, it has analysed these as part of South Africa’s broader segregationist and apartheid strategy. This article shares and builds on this perspective, extending the analysis by looking more closely at four specific bantustans— Bophuthatswana, Venda, KaNgwane and KwaZulu—and the links between their local and more broadly South African reformist and transnational developmental discourses during the 1980s. It examines how different educational networks formed “discourse coalitions” across these bantustans through the participation of educational reformers and experts in key education commissions and educational projects and initiatives. The article explores the roles of individuals involved in the development of educational reforms and their circulation both across the bantustans and between these bantustans and South Africa. It shows how discourses about education reform in the bantustans and South Africa deployed the language and concepts of development education, which integrated these bantustans into a reformist agenda prolonging rather than dismantling apartheid. The article casts new light on the cross-border relationships around education that bound them to one another and South Africa.

晚期种族隔离教育改革和班图斯坦纠葛

摘要 南非的社会和教育史学很少特别关注特定的班图斯坦。相反，它已将这些分析作为南非更广泛的种族隔离和种族隔离战略的一部分。本文分享并建立在这一观点的基础上，通过更仔细地研究四个具体的班图斯坦（Bophuthatswana、Venda、KaNgwane 和 KwaZulu）以及它们在 1980 年代当地和更广泛的南非改革主义和跨国发展话语之间的联系来扩展分析。它研究了不同的教育网络如何通过教育改革者和专家参与关键教育委员会以及教育项目和倡议，在这些班图斯坦之间形成“话语联盟”。本文探讨了参与教育改革发展的个人的作用及其在班图斯坦之间以及班图斯坦与南非之间的流通。它展示了班图斯坦和南非关于教育改革的话语如何运用发展教育的语言和概念，将这些班图斯坦纳入一个延长而不是废除种族隔离的改革议程。这篇文章揭示了围绕教育的跨境关系，这些关系将它们与彼此和南非联系在一起。它将这些班图斯坦人纳入了延长而不是废除种族隔离的改革议程。这篇文章揭示了围绕教育的跨境关系，这些关系将它们与彼此和南非联系在一起。它将这些班图斯坦人纳入了延长而不是废除种族隔离的改革议程。这篇文章揭示了围绕教育的跨境关系，这些关系将它们与彼此和南非联系在一起。
