Michael Sutcliffe and Paul Wellings criticise Lawrence Schlemmer's widely‐cited survey which purports to show that a majority of black male production workers in South Africa are against ‘disinvestment’ and, by implication, would prefer US business to pursue a strategy of ‘constructive engagement’. Their critique was cited by the United Democratic Front on 12 June 1985 and debates at a widely‐publicised seminar in Durban on 25 June. Their paper goes beyond a critique of Schlemmer's methodology to question conventional assumptions about the significance of disinvestment in South Africa fr employment. Their critique 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
