This authoritative book explores cases of whistleblowing from
around the world, with a focus on cases in South Africa.
Whistleblowing is a vital tool in the fight against corruption and
other forms of organizational wrongdoing. The author develops a
sociology of whistleblowing by employing C. Wright Mills' concept
of the sociological imagination that examines the private troubles
and public issues related to whistleblowing. Organizational
wrongdoing is a public issue that the whistleblower tries to expose
so that it can be corrected and whistleblowing also is a personal
trouble that can have devastating consequences for the
whistleblower and his/her family, friends, and colleagues. After
analyzing whistleblowing in terms of the personal troubles and
public issues, this engrossing book considers ways in which
whistleblowers and organizations could be supported to promote the
public interest while mitigating the possible negative consequences
for whistleblowers, organizations and our societies. This book is a
must read for policymakers, researchers, whistleblowers and those
who are interested in a just society.
