Este artículo revisa el papel de la “clase” en la práctica y la investigación de la educación de adultos en Sudáfrica bajo el apartheid y en la era posterior al apartheid. Históricamente, la educación de adultos estuvo orientada hacia la clase trabajadora negra y, en general, hacia las comunidades negras oprimidas. En la era posterior al apartheid, las corrientes de oposición en la educación de adultos continuaron, pero cambiaron el enfoque hacia las desigualdades y opresiones distintas de la clase, como la raza y el género. Gran parte de la literatura sobre educación de adultos muestra renuencia a comprometerse explícitamente con el concepto de clase y, en muchos casos, la clase ha sido desplazada como categoría principal de análisis. El artículo revisa los debates sociológicos recientes sobre raza y clase y argumenta que estos son relevantes para la educación de adultos como campo de práctica e investigación. El artículo argumenta que la clase sigue “importando” si se quiere que la educación de adultos se dé cuenta de su potencial para contribuir a la transformación socialista.
