Colin Bundy's career as academic and administrator has been divided between his native South Africa and the United Kingdom. He is a member of a generation of historians whose work substantially reinterpreted South African history, and he is best known for his writings on the South African peasantry and rural resistance. "Learning from Robben Island: Govan Mbeki's Prison Writings" was published by Ohio University Press in 1991 with a detailed introduction by Colin Bundy. Dr. Bundy recently retired as Principal of Green Templeton College, Oxford.
