Résumé

Cet article étudie l’expérience des étudiants « noirs » (minoritaires) dans une université de langue afrikaans historiquement « blanche » : l’Université de Stellenbosch (SU). C’est un essai empirique consistant à mettre en évidence les conditions de vie actuelles des étudiants minoritaires qui représentent 14 pour cent des effectifs de SU. Il inclut l’évaluation des processus sociaux qui conditionnent une ligne de partage racialisée entre les différents groupes et prolonge en même temps l’affiliation à un groupe d’appartenance. L’accent est mis sur les thèmes suivants, relatifs au débat sur la transformation de l’éducation en Afrique du Sud : la couleur de peau et les stéréotypes raciaux, l’accès à la langue et à l’éducation, les espaces ségrégationnistes et la réalité économique. La démarche des entrevues de recherche qualitative et l’utilisation de l’approche postcoloniale cherchent à montrer que les étudiants des minorités rencontrent constamment le retour d’un système raciste de différenciation qui les exclut et les considère comme des sujets marginalisés. Cet article soutient que ces expériences sont dues au schéma corporel et aux caractéristiques culturelles qui définissent l’appartenance à SU ; ce qui rend les étudiants minoritaires plus résistants mais plus ambivalents quant à la poursuite de l’éducation en tant que processus d’autoréalisation.
