Workers in Brazil and the United States have followed parallel and
entangled histories for many centuries. Recent experiences with
progressive, popular presidents and authoritarian, populist
presidents in the two most populous countries in the hemisphere
have underscored important similarities. The contributors in this
volume focus on the comparative and transnational histories of
labor between and across Brazil and the United States. The
countries' histories bear the marks of slavery, racism,
transoceanic immigration, and rapid urbanization, as well as strong
regional differentiation and inequalities. These features
decisively shaped the working classes. Brazilian and US labor
history debates have erupted and subsided at different times. This
collection synthesizes those debates while adding new topics and
new sources from both countries. The international group of
historians' methodologically innovative chapters explore links,
resonances, and divergences between US and Brazilian labor history.
They widen the scope of analysis for themes and problems that have
long been familiar to historians of work and workers in the two
countries, but have not provoked close dialogues between scholars
in the respective places. Though the histories themselves were
often entangled, the debates about them have too rarely
intertwined.
