Bob Hawke, Bill Clinton, Malcolm Turnbull – all were recipients of the Rhodes Scholarship, one of the oldest and most prestigious academic scholarships in the world. It was started posthumously by a man named Cecil Rhodes; a man whose legacy has recently been the subject of heated debates and a protest movement to decolonise education known as #RhodesMustFall.
The reckoning with Cecil Rhodes has largely focused on his actions as an imperialist and colonialist; a man who claimed large swathes of Africa in the name of the British Empire. But it turns out he had deeper and darker designs to ensure global white supremacy.
Dr Jonny Steinberg, Senior Lecturer in Political Science at Yale University grew up in South Africa and witnessed the legacy of Cecil Rhodes first-hand. He explains to Marc Fennell (Stuff the British Stole, Mastermind) that Rhodes’ initial plans for the Rhodes Scholarship involved a secret society, and a plan for world domination.
