Apartheid is the doctrine by which the South African government regulates the relations between its black and white citizens. This doctrine oppresses the nonwhite groups while protecting the wealth and the well being of the white group through legislation. In townships throughout South Africa, there is a war being waged against apartheid. Economic sanctions are one very important means in the world campaign to eliminate apartheid. This thesis will focus specifically on the economic sanctions by different governments and foreign divestiture by different corporations and more emphasis will be given to U.S. corporations. In this thesis, I propose to measure the effectiveness of this foreign divestiture. The scale will be the extent to which foreign divestiture worsens or alleviates the present condition of black workers in South Africa. It has been argued by several authors that foreign divestiture may not necessarily cause economic harm and that even if it does, this may not be followed by the diminishing of the apartheid system. The advocates of this argument believe that foreign business has limited influence on the South African government. On the other hand, some authors argue that economic sanctions are morally justifiable. They also believe that if comprehensive international sanctions against South Africa are taken, the measures will seriously raise the cost of apartheid, and the combination of a deteriorating economy and increased international isolation should force the white community to begin serious negotiations towards majority rule. These various arguments are not necessarily mutually exclusive, but they do suggest that the question of the effectiveness of economic sanctions has led to much speculation. To reach a decisive point on this issue, I will first consider the various forms of foreign divestiture, its past and present effects. Secondly, I will consider the likely effects of other so far unimplemented forms of economic sanctions. This will be contrasted with the effects of continued foreign ...

The M. H. Ross Papers contain information pertaining to labor, politics, social issues of the twentieth century, coal mining and its resulting lifestyle, as well as photographs and audio materials. The collection is made up of five different accessions; L2001-05, which is contained in boxes one through 104, L2002-09 in boxes 106 through 120, L2006-16 in boxes 105 and 120, L2001-01 in boxes 120-121, and L2012-20 in boxes 122-125. The campaign materials consist of items from the 1940 and 1948 political campaigns in which Ross participated. These items include campaign cards, posters, speech transcripts, news clippings, rally materials, letters to voters, and fliers. Organizing and arbitration materials covers labor organizing events from "Operation Dixie" in Georgia, the furniture workers in North Carolina, and the Mine-Mill workers in the Western United States. Organizing materials include fliers, correspondence, news articles, radio transcripts, and some related photos. Arbitration files consist of agreements, decisions, and agreement booklets. The social and political research files cover a wide time period (1930's to the late 1970's/early 1980's). The topics include mainly the Ku Klux Klan, racism, Communism, Red Scare, red baiting, United States history, and literature. These files consist mostly of news and journal articles. Ross interacted with coal miners while doing work for the United Mine Workers Association (UMWA) and while working at the Fairmont Clinic in West Virginia. Included in these related files are books, news articles, journals, UMWA reports, and coal miner oral histories conducted by Ross. Tying in to all of the activities Ross participated in during his life were his research and manuscript files. He wrote numerous newspaper and journal articles on history and labor. Later, as he worked for the UMWA and at the Fairmont Clinic, he wrote more in-depth articles about coal miners, their lifestyle, and medical problems they faced (while the Southern Labor Archives has many of Ross's coal mining and lifestyle articles, it does not have any of his medical articles). Along with these articles are the research files Ross collected to write them, which consist of notes, books, and newspaper and journal articles. In additional to his professional career, Ross was adamant about documenting his and his wife's family history in the oral history format. Of particular interest are the recordings of his interviews with his wife's family - they were workers, musicians, and singers of labor and folk songs. Finally, in this collection are a number of photographs and slides, which include images of organizing, coal mining (from the late 19th through 20th centuries), and Appalachia. Of note is a small photo album from the 1930s which contains images from the Summer School for Workers, and more labor organizing. A few audio items are available as well, such as Ross political speeches and an oral history in which Ross was interviewed by his daughter, Jane Ross Davis in 1986. All photographic and audio-visual materials are at the end of their respective series. ; Myron Howard "Mike" Ross was born November 9, 1919 in New York City. He dropped out of school when he was seventeen and moved to Texas, where he worked on a farm. From 1936 until 1939, Ross worked in a bakery in North Carolina. In the summer of 1938, he attended the Southern School for Workers in Asheville, North Carolina. During the fall of 1938, Ross would attend the first Southern Conference on Human Welfare in Birmingham, Alabama. He would attend this conference again in 1940 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. From 1939 to 1940, Ross worked for the United Mine Workers Non-Partisan League in North Carolina, working under John L. Lewis. He was hired as a union organizer by the United Mine Workers of America, and sent to Saltville, Virginia and Rockwood, Tennessee. In 1940, Ross ran for a seat on city council on the People's Platform in Charlotte, North Carolina. During this time, he also married Anne "Buddie" West of Kennesaw, Georgia. From 1941 until 1945, Ross served as an infantryman for the United States Army. He sustained injuries near the Battle of the Bulge in the winter of 1944. From 1945 until 1949, Ross worked for the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers, then part of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO), as a union organizer. He was sent to Macon, Georgia, Savannah, Georgia and to Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where he worked with the United Furniture Workers Union. He began handling arbitration for the unions. In 1948, Ross ran for United States Congress on the Progressive Party ticket in North Carolina. He also served as the secretary for the North Carolina Progressive Party. Ross attended the University of North Carolina law school from 1949 to 1952. He graduated with honors but was denied the bar on the grounds of "character." From 1952 until 1955, he worked for the Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers as a union organizer, first in New Mexico (potash mines) and then in Arizona (copper mines). From 1955 to 1957, Ross attended the Columbia University School of Public Health. He worked for the United Mine Workers of America Welfare and Retirement Fund from 1957 to 1958, where he represented the union in expenditure of health care for mining workers. By 1958, Ross began plans for what would become the Fairmont Clinic, a prepaid group practice in Fairmont, West Virginia, which had the mission of providing high quality medical care for miners and their families. From 1958 until 1978, Ross served as administrator of the Fairmont Clinic. As a result of this work, Ross began researching coal mining, especially coal mining lifestyle, heritage and history of coal mining and disasters. He would interview over one hundred miners (coal miners). Eventually, Ross began writing a manuscript about the history of coal mining. Working for the Rural Practice Program of the University of North Carolina from 1980 until 1987, Ross taught in the medical school. M. H. Ross died on January 31, 1987 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. ; Digitization of the M. H. Ross Papers was funded by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission.

• Opsomming: In Natal en Zoeloeland het die buitengewoon strawwe malaria-epidemies duisende swart lewens gedurende die tydperk onder bespreking geëis. Droogte en wanvoeding het veral kinders verswak, terwyl die ekonomiese depressie werkloses na die reservate laat terugkeer het. Sowel hulle as die duisende 'vreemde' arbeiders op die suikerplase het geen weerstand gehad nie teen malaria wat uitheems aan die streek was. Uit wantroue jeens die regeringe en gesondheidsowerhede het baie Zoeloes ook geweier om die teenmiddel kinien in te neem. Al die faktore saam het meegebring dat die epidemies die hewigste nog in menseheugenis was. ; • Summary: The malaria epidemics in parts of Natal and in Zululand during the period under review were unusually severe and thousands of blacks died. Drought and malnutrition resulted in debility, particularly in children, while the economic depression brought unemployed workers home to the reserves. They and the thousands of foreign workers employed on the sugar estates had no immunity to malaria, which was not endemic to the region. In addition, many Zulus refused to take quinine because of their distrust of the government and the health authorities. The combination of these factors made these the most virulent malaria epidemics in living memory.

The current trend toward greater worker participation in business decisions is reflected in European Economic Community developments. In this article, Mr. Battaille examines recent European Commission measures which attempt to harmonize national company law legislation in the Member States. The author focuses particularly on the Commission's proposal for a Council Directive to ensure the right to information and consultation for workers of enterprises exercising their activities in more than one establishment or subsidiary in one or several Member States.
The sudden flourishing of the Egyptian economy in the mid-nineteenth century and the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 gave the impetus to a lively emigration of Maltese workers, artisans and merchants to Egypt. Many of them took part in the founding of the township of Porto Said and the smaller towns of Ismailia and Suez; others settled in the two great cities of the country, Alexandria and Cairo. On the eve of the Second World War there were found in Egypt about 20,000 people of Maltese origin. Except for those that they had Italian, French or Austrian father, these Egyptian Maltese were counted as British subjects. This political name turns out to be naturally misleading when it is kept in mind that most of these so-called English not only ignored the English language, but had also abandoned the use of their hereditary language, instead using Italian as a domestic idiom, and French as vehicular language and culture. This is a significant factor for the political history of Malta in the sense that the linguistic realization of the nationalist ideals of Fortunato Mizzi's party took place in Egypt. ; N/A
State buy-American statutes are among the most peculiar of legislative responses to problems of unemployment and low levels of economic growth in the United States. Designed to decrease unemployment among American workers by promoting the development of American industry, the statutes typically require that purchasers of goods to be used in state-subsidized projects prefer products manufactured in America over those made in foreign countries, often regardless of price or quality.' State buy-American statutes are presently in effect in a number of states, despite criticism that they constitute devices of economic protectionism for domestic goods and barriers to a unified United States foreign economic policy. The recent New Jersey Supreme Court decision in K.S.B. Technical Sales Corp. v. North Jersey District Water Supply Commission raises anew the difficult issues concerning the constitutionality of state buy-American statutes. The New Jersey statutes governing public works challenged in K.S.B. provide in relevant part: "[N]otwithstanding any inconsistent provision of any law, and unless the head of the department, or other public officer charged with the duty by law, shall determine it to be inconsistent with the public interest, or the cost to be unreasonable, only domestic materials shall be acquired or used for any public work.'" In upholding this statute, the K.S.B. court rejected a three-pronged constitutional challenge alleging that the statute (1) violated the "dormant" commerce clause of the United States Constitution; (2) was preempted by the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade; and (3) constituted an impermissible state intrusion into the field of foreign affairs. This Note will consider these constitutional challenges to state buy-American statutes, concluding that such laws,in light of both early and recent Supreme Court decisions, are indeed valid under the Constitution. The Note neither condemns nor favors the policy considerations underlying state buy-American statutes, but only suggests that ...
