“…Biko defined black consciousness as a philosophy and movement 'to make the black man come to himself, to pump back life into his empty shell; to infuse him with pride and dignity' (Biko, 2002). The connection to community devel opment was central as Hadfield (2010) has argued, and this included building a 'new culture and value orientation' which would 'articulate the priorities and needs of the black people and act in terms of those needs' . Community work was therefore integral to a vision of transformation of South African society with psychological, cultural and economic implications and ' to connect students with their roots and their communities and with the struggles -daily struggles -of their people' (Pityana, in Hadfield, 2010, p. 82).…”

Academics study the concept of community as a dynamic force and, increasingly, universities have become researchers, partners, and participants in community engagement. What is surprising is the lack of a definitional framework for the word "community", and perhaps due to the use (one might say overuse) of the term in com mon parlance, no one questions what we mean by community.To engage a discussion without questioning what community means would be insufficient, if not presumptuous. Our goal is to explore. Equally presumptuous would be to define the dynamic, fluid, transforming concept of community. We aim to plumb the wisdom of our colleagues, community partners, students and mentors to bring meaning to the word community in all its richness and resilience.

Young activists who took part in South Africa's Black Consciousness movement challenged the apartheidstatus quowith their bold calls for black psychological liberation. This article uses new evidence to elucidate the work these youthful activists did in health and economic projects in the rural Eastern Cape that, in part, upheld certain customs. The article also brings young professional women into the history of African youth, arguing that the involvement of professional black female activists changed the way activists and villagers perceived the abilities and roles of young black women.
