From Plantation to City : The Ambiguity of a Choice -
The rural exodus in Brazil since the 1960s has often been interpreted as the consequence of extending labor rights to those who work the land. Accordingly, rising labor costs have forced bosses to get rid of permanent hired hands. This cause-effect explanation comes under critical examination : it does not account for social actors' behavior. Questions are raised about the social conditions underlying this exodus. In the Nordeste plantation area, bosses have not laid masses of workers off. Instead, the latter have themselves decided to leave. Light is shed on the origins of these choices ; and the social context is analyzed wherein they have been made. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
