Cliff Welch has made a major contribution. He has helped restore the historical roots of the Brazilian rural movements and underlined their importance and complexity. . . . It should be emulated by historians of Brazil and also by those of other Latin American countries. It is a book well worth reading. </p> Joel Horowitz, <em>Labor History</em></p>

This is a pioneering work on a neglected topic, an important contribution to labor history, and a work whose argument historians of modern Brazil will be unable to ignore. --Hendrik Kraay, Business History Review

The book is a carefully crafted case study of rural labor politics in RibeirAo Preto in western SAo Paulo's Alta Mogiana. . . . [Welch] has produced an admirable, outstanding piece of scholarship. Readers must study it themselves, as this review may not do justice to its richness. --Luis A. Gonzalez, Journal of Interamerican Studies and World Affairs
