This chapter situates Brazilian labour politics in the historical context of state-led industrialization, corporatism, and authoritarianism. The Brazilian government’s interventionist industrialization policies during the mid-twentieth century contributed to the emergence of a large urban working class whose militancy opened a space for organized labour’s political role. The political arrangements that emerged in this period contained the seeds of both resistance and accommodation, while shaping Brazilian labour politics far into the future. |
