Product Details
ROCKLANDS: On Becoming the First Generation of Black Psychologists in Post-Apartheid South Africa tells the remarkable personal and professional story of Liezille Jacobs, tracing her journey from an adverse childhood in Rocklands, Mitchells Plain, to becoming the first Black Head of Department at Rhodes University in 120 years.
Blending memoir, scholarship and social commentary, Jacobs explores how personal experience, professional life and the broader political history of South Africa intersect. She challenges conventional understandings of psychology and argues for a discipline that is more accessible, socially engaged and responsive to communities affected by inequality and oppression.
At its heart, Rocklands is both a deeply personal story of transformation and a call to rethink psychology as more than a profession — as a means of contributing to social change.
Essential reading for students and academics in psychology and the social sciences, as well as readers interested in South Africa’s transformation, education, identity and social history.
