For countless centuries, workers in Brazil and the United States have traversed parallel and intertwined paths. Recent political developments, with progressive and popular presidents in both countries, as well as authoritarian and populist leaders, have brought to light significant similarities between the two nations. This volume delves into the comparative and transnational histories of labor between Brazil and the United States, examining the profound impact of slavery, racism, transatlantic immigration, rapid urbanization, regional disparities, and inequalities on the working classes. The debates surrounding Brazilian and US labor history have ebbed and flowed over time, with this collection synthesizing and expanding upon those discussions while introducing fresh topics and sources from both countries. The chapters in this collection, written by an international group of historians, employ innovative methodologies to explore the connections, resonances, and divergences between US and Brazilian labor history. They broaden the analytical lens for themes and issues that have long been familiar to scholars in both countries, yet have seldom sparked deep dialogues among scholars in their respective regions. Despite the complexities and entanglements in their histories, the debates surrounding them have remained largely separate.
