It would be an ironic but welcome development if the contemporary, coterminous affliction of both Brazilian and United States societies with right-wing populist regimes—Bolsonaro’s in Brazil, Trump’s in the U.S—should spur a wider intellectual focus on historical parallels and interactions across these two hemispheric behemoths. If so, The Entangled Labor Histories of Brazil and the United States will surely be counted an important step forward. Ranging from World War I through the Cold War era and mixing comparative with transnational approaches, this volume stirs fresh thinking about workers, race and gender, the military, and the state in both countries.
