An indispensable work for any collection on Latin America,
Greenfield and Maram, both professional Latin American historians,
have performed a remarkable service for scholars, journalists,
students, and the interested lay public. . . . The focus of the
individual chapters is on labor organizations, and the information
assembled on the various unions, cooperatives, sindicatos, and
mutual aid societies is invaluable. . . . The index, itself 98
pages, makes the book even more valuable for the casual or serious
researcher. As a resource tool, this volume cannot be too highly
recommended. "Choice"
Each chapter concentrates on the history of labor organizations
of a single nation. Chapters begin with general essays that place
the labor movement within the context of a country's historical and
socio-political development. Entries on each of the nation's most
important labor organizations follow, including discussion of
origin, development, and activities. A bibliography containing
suggestions for further study completes each chapter. Appendices
include information on international labor organizations that have
played an important role in Latin America, country-by-country time
lines focusing on the development of organized labor, and a select
glossary of terms and notable people.
