Dominance Without Hegemony: Unmasking Social Injustice Leadership in University Education in Zimbabwe

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
International Handbook of Educational Leadership and Social (In)Justice

Part of the book series: Springer International Handbooks of Education ((SIHE,volume 29))

Abstract

What is observed in Zimbabwe is the establishment of internal colonialism by President Robert Mugabe’s government that is in alliance with a partisan military. University administrators have been brought in to publicly provide political and ideological anchor for government policies. This chapter utilizes Ranajit Guha’s (Dominance without hegemony: history and power in colonial India. Harvard University Press, New York, 1997) analytics and critics that culminated in his thesis of dominance without hegemony, a situation where an authoritarian administration governs by use of coercion and without the mandate of the people of that country. Basing on conversations with the university community, the chapter argues that university leaders have been turned into Zimbabwe’s ruling party activists and state security agents and, in the process, turning their backs on the fundamental basics that guide education leadership. They have become architects and constructors of social injustice practices. Although the analysis is grounded in dominant strands of social justice theory or policy, this chapter is also strongly informed by my engagement in education and research in struggles against the deteriorating conditions of higher education in Zimbabwe, which evolved from my work in the country with student movements and faculty associations. The chapter concludes that institutional social injustices are a creation of those who seek power and domination without the concern of the people. Consequently, the challenge is that educational leaders in Zimbabwe should increase their courage, intelligence, and vision (Jean-Marie, Normore and Brooks. J Res Leadersh Educ 4(1):1–31, 2009) and help end the commission of social injustices in their institutions by extension throughout society.
