About this book

Now in Paperback

This book reflects the development of Latin American labour history across broad geographical, chronological and thematic perspectives, which seek to review and revisit key concepts at different levels. The contributions are closely linked to the most recent trends in Global Labour History and in turn, they enrich those trends.　

Here, authors from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Spain take a historical and sociological perspective and analyse a series of problems relating to labour relations. The chapters weave together different periods of Latin American colonial and republican history　from the vice-royalties of New Spain (now Mexico) and Peru, the　Royal　Audiencia de Charcas　(now Bolivia), Argentina and Uruguay (former vice-royalty of Río de La Plata) and Chile (former　Capitanía General).
