A obra reúne estudos acadêmicos, dedicados ao trabalho têxtil no Brasil (articulando trabalhadores e fábricas de tecidos), no intuito de apresentar um panorama mais abrangente da produção historiográfica sobre esse relevante setor industrial do país, particularmente no contexto pós Segunda Guerra Mundial. Ressalta-se que, desde a obra clássica do brasilianista Stanley Stein (publicada originalmente em 1957), não foi produzido um balanço mais denso sobre o trabalhado têxtil no Brasil. Desse modo, a obra busca reunir artigos de todas as regiões do país, abordando temáticas como trabalho feminino, empresariado têxtil, paternalismo industrial, formas de organização e lutas dos tecelões e processos de desindustrialização.
A mais completa e refinada análise da experiência petista antes, durante e depois dos anos no poder. O PT foi o grande vencedor de eleições presidenciais da Nova República, produziu seu líder mais popular e, de certa forma, representa as vitórias e derrotas do Brasil no período. Talvez por isso, também tenha virado o bode expiatório dos defeitos do sistema para parte do público brasileiro. Com prosa brilhante e argumentação rigorosa, o sociólogo Celso Rocha de Barros passa a limpo meio século da história nacional e reconstrói a trajetória da mais amada e mais odiada de nossas agremiações políticas. Para além de esmiuçar as idiossincrasias da legenda, PT, uma história joga luz sobre as possibilidades e os limites da experiência da sociedade brasileira, uma democracia de alta desigualdade, com viés conservador.

A revelatory look at a momentous undertaking-from the workers' point of view The Panama Canal has long been celebrated as a triumph of American engineering and ingenuity. In The Canal Builders, Julie Greene reveals that this emphasis has obscured a far more remarkable element of the historic enterprise: the tens of thousands of workingmen and workingwomen who traveled from all around the world to build it. Greene looks past the mythology surrounding the canal to expose the difficult working conditions and discriminatory policies involved in its construction. Drawing extensively on letters, memoirs, and government documents, the book chronicles both the struggles and the triumphs of the workers and their families. Prodigiously researched and vividly told, The Canal Builders explores the human dimensions of one of the world's greatest labor mobilizations, and reveals how it launched America's twentieth-century empire.
