- Title
"A PECULIARITY OF LABOR IN THIS REGION" Workers' Voices in the Labor Court Archive at the Federal University of Pernambuco.
- Authors
Rogers, Thomas D.; Dabat, Christine Rufino
- Abstract
This research note provides historical context for the creation of Brazil's labor judiciary and tells the story of an innovative partnership forged between the archive of Pernambuco's regional labor tribunal and the Federal University of Pernambuco. It also engages methodological questions about the use of these labor court cases, reviewing some of the scholarly literature based on these sources and describing some research projects under way. Pernambuco has powerful historical links to the sugarcane industry, and because the history of labor in this industry is the terrain of our work, this note pays particular attention to the relevance of labor court cases for studying Pernambuco's sugarcane region.
