Racial Prejudice and Economic Pragmatism: a South African Case-Study
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 November 2008
Extract
Race relations have become one of the most sensitive of international issues. They have been transformed from the domestic concern of single countries to a matter of world concern. The story of this transformation is almost too well-known for comment. It grew from a massive revulsion against fascist racialism, the decline of white dominance, the emergence of new states from colonial empires, and the growing dependence of developed countries on the raw materials of the less developed. The United Nations Organisation has, in addition, given the non-white majority a forum from which they can condemn countries maintaining racial stratification. It is clear, therefore, that a breakdown in racial prejudice would not only ease some world tensions, but is a desirable end in itself.

page 498 note 1 The model is a graphic depiction of the presumed causal relationships of the major variables under discussion. Figures on straight lines are standardised regression coefficients (‘betas’), and reflect the strength and direction of the relationships. The model is derived from regression analysis, details of which are discussed in the appendix (7). Residuals are omitted.
