| Title: | Disinvestment and Black Workers Attitudes in South Africa: A Critical Comment |
| Author: | Michael Sutcliffe and Paul Wellings |
| Location: | Vol.12 No.34 (Winter 1985), pp68-81 |
| Criticises Lawrence Schlemmer's widely cited survey which purports to show that a majority of black male production workers in SA are against disinvestment' and by implication, would prefer US business to pursue a strategy of 'constructive engagement' . Goes beyond a critique of methodology to question conventional assumptions about the significance of disinvestment in SA employment. Raises central methodological questions about the inferences which can be drawn from opinion surveys and the political use to which their results can be put. |
