Braga's analysis seeks to explain both economic and structural processes (peripheral Fordism, its crisis, the transition to financialised post-Fordism) and the subjective dimension of the proletariat suffering from precarity (the anxiety of the subordinate, the preoccupation of the worker, the plebeian or classist drive of the exploited). At the moment when the plebeian drive is once again stimulating strike activity in the country, underlined by the protests that have recently shaken Brazil, this book impels us to reflect on the limits of the current model of Brazilian development. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirst published in Portuguese as \u003cem\u003eA política do precariado: do populismo à hegemonia lulista\u003c\/em\u003e by Boitempo Editorial in 2012.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMichael Löwy\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Tables and Figures \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 1 The Formation of the Reversal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 The Spectre of the People    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sociology of Modernisation Encounters the Working Class   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnions in Peripheral Fordism    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePopulism and the Migrant Precariat    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBetween the Archaic and the Modern: An Ethnography of the Precariat    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorking-Class Archaeology: Populism in Reverse    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom Fordist Mirage to the Politics of the Precariat   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinal Considerations \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 The Fatalism of the Weak    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSociology of Applied Work: The Limits of Bureaucratic Unionism    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublic Sociology of Work: Towards Working-Class Independence    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Precarious Hegemony of Peripheral Fordism    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom Populism to Social Discontent (and Vice-versa)    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCritical Sociology of Work: Discontent as Disalienation    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a Sociology of Working-Class Discontent    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinal Considerations \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 2 The Transformation of Hegemony in Reverse\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 The Smile of the Exploited    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWork and Politics in São Bernardo    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Despotic Factory Regime and the Metalworker Precariat    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeons 1: From Contingent Consciousness to Necessary Consciousness    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeons 2: From the Union Bureaucracy to the Metalworker Vanguard    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeons 3: From Rank-and-File Rebellion to Strike Waves \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrecarious Hegemony: The Return of Bureaucratic Power?    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinal Considerations \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 The Anguish of the Subalterns    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePost-Fordism and the Neoliberal Company    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Peripheral and Post-Fordist Precariat    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscontent and Consent in the Call-Centre Industry    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnionism in the Telemarketing Sector    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLulista Hegemony: Between Social Discontent and Active Will    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTelemarketers: The Reverse of the Reverse    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinal Considerations \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConclusion: \"Let's Play That?\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInterventions\u003c\/strong\u003e   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1   Dilma and the Brazilian Utopia   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2   Unrest in the Kitchen   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3   Chronicle of an Unforgettable Month   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4   For a Sociology Worthy of June   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5   Rosa Parks in Itaquera   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6   The Most Visible Colour   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e7  Challenging Hegemony   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e8   The Era of Pillage   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e9   The End of Lulism and the Palace Coup in Brazil \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBibliography \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Haymarket Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51359872680279,"sku":"9781642590555","price":25.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781642590555.jpg?v=1754125969","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-politics-of-the-precariat-from-populism-to-lulista-hegemony-9781642590555","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
