The Shifting Ground of Globalization
In The Shifting Ground of Globalization, Thiago Aguiar describes the transformation of the Brazilian mining company into a Transnational Corporation and its consequences for workers, communities, and the environment in the first decades of the twenty-first century.
Brazilian Railway Culture
Brazilian Railway Culture examines the cultural relationship Brazil has had with its railways since tracks were first laid by British, American and French engineers in the nineteenth century. ‘Railway’ and ‘Brazil’ are words not often found in the same sentence. Yet each year over seven hundred million passengers are carried by train in the major urban centres, and tens of thousands of visitors enjoy heritage steam rides at over a dozen restored lines and museums. Brazilian Railway Culture starts from the premise that Brazilian society and culture is not just samba, football and sex. The book takes a journey through Brazilian cultural output from 1865 to the present day, examining no...
The Oxford Handbook of the Law of Work
At the core of all societies and economies are human beings deploying their energies and talents in productive activities - that is, at work. The law governing human productive activity is a large part of what determines outcomes in terms of social justice, material wellbeing, and the sustainability of both. It is hardly surprising, therefore, that work is heavily regulated. This Handbook examines the 'law of work', a term that includes legislation setting employment standards, collective labour law, workplace discrimination law, the law regulating the contract of employment, and international labour law. It covers the regulation of relations between employer and employee, as well as labour ...
The Politics of the Precariat: From Populism to Lulista Hegemony
Making use of the theoretical tools of Marxist critical sociology, Ruy Braga proposes an innovative reading of the social history of Brazil – from Fordist populism to the Lulista hegemony – using the ‘politics of the precariat’ as an analytical vector. Braga’s analysis seeks to explain both economic and structural processes (peripheral Fordism, its crisis, the transition to financialised post-Fordism) and the subjective dimension of the proletariat suffering from precarity (the anxiety of the subordinate, the preoccupation of the worker, the plebeian or classist drive of the exploited). At the moment when the plebeian drive is once again stimulating strike activity in the country, underlined by the protests that have recently shaken Brazil, this book impels us to reflect on the limits of the current model of Brazilian development. First published in Portugese as A polÃtica do precariado: do populismo à hegemonia lulista by Boitempo Editorial in 2012.

Hegemonia às avessas
Decifra-me ou te devoro!', ameaçava a Esfinge os viajantes amedrontados, antes de recitar o mais famoso enigma da história. Na verdade, a hegemonia 'lulista' representa nossa incontornável esfinge barbuda", aponta Ruy Braga, um dos organizadores de Hegemonia à s avessas: economia, polÃtica e cultura na era da servidão financeira, lançado agora pela Boitempo. Nascido a partir do artigo homônimo, de Francisco de Oliveira incluÃdo nesta edição o livro resulta de seminário promovido pelo Centro de Estudos dos Direitos da Cidadania da Universidade de São Paulo (Cenedic), no qual buscou-se analisar os fundamentos econômicos, polÃticos e culturais "dessa forma sui generis de dominaçÃ...

Another Production is Possible
A meticulous examination of new forms of the conflict between capital and labor, and the emergence of new labor solidarities across the developing world.
Reinventing Democracy
The studies gathered in this volume focus on Portuguese society, from the creative social and political experimentation by citizen and popular movements during the revolution of 1974/75 to more recent episodes of alternative economic organisation, popular mobilization over the claim of local populations to self-government, local environmental conflicts, transformations in trade-unionism, transnational solidarity movements and citizen participation on territorial planning. They explicitly explore the relationships and tensions between difference and equality, citizenship and difference, state/society relationships and local identities and European integration as part of broader processes of globalisation and of the emergence of new experiences of active citizenship. This volume was previously published as a special issue of the journal South European Society and Politics.
