“Trabajadores pobres e informales”: Economistas, organismos internacionales y el mundo del trabajo en América Latina (1960-1980)
During the decades of development (the 1960s-1970s), economists and international agencies became increasingly concerned about labor issues in Latin America.

The six books reviewed in this essay contribute to understanding how modern cities shaped the process of working-class formation as well as workers’ identity, experiences, and economic and material conditions.

Hungry for Revolution: The Politics of Food and the Making of Modern Chile
In twentieth-century Chile, access to nutritious and affordable food was a central social and labor demand. In a country that suffered from endemic inflation and, by the early 1950s, was importing agricultural products, especially wheat, to feed its growing population, food remained a contentious political and economic issue. The increase in the price of food and other essential supplies sparked local and national protests, while medical doctors …

Identifying the Unemployed: Social Categories and Relief in Depression-Era Chile (1930–1934)
This article explores how the Chilean state identified and categorized working men, women, and children during the Great Depression. Ideas of “employable” and “unemployable” as well as “deserving” and “undeserving” poor influenced how the government distributed relief, organized public-work projects, and eventually dismantled its emergency programs in 1932–34. But this was not an uncontested process. This article also sheds light on working famil…

Influenced by the impact of dictatorship on Chilean society as well as global historiographical debates, Labor Studies became an interdisciplinary and transnational field in Chile. This article focuses on the different academic traditions that have intersected with and contributed …
