Abstract

This volume gathers essays on a wide range of cases, from Argentina to Mexico, in the period from 1930 to 1979. In the main, the authors are young scholars—often graduate students—sharing the results of their recent investigations. If nothing else, Workers' Control in Latin America shows that old-style labor history is still vibrant in the region. The classic works of Harry Braverman, David Mont-gomery, and Richard Edwards still resonate among Latin American scholars.
