{"product_id":"9780521034791","title":"Deference and Defiance in Monterrey : Workers, Paternalism, and Revolution in Mexico, 1890-1950 (Cambridge Latin American Studies)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe first comprehensive history of labour relations and the working class in twentieth-century Monterrey, Deference and Defiance explores how both workers and industrialists perceived, responded to and helped shape the outcome of Mexico's revolution. Snodgrass's narrative covers a sixty-year period that begins with Monterrey's emergence as one of Latin-America's pre-eminent industrial cities. He then explores the roots of two distinct and enduring systems of industrial relations that were both historical outcomes of the revolution: company paternalism and militant unionism. By comparing four local industries - steel, beer, glass and smelting - Snodgrass demonstrates how workers and managers collaborated in the development of paternalistic labour regimes that built upon working-class traditions of mutual aid as well as elite resistance to state labour policies. Deference and Defiance in Monterrey thus offers an urban and industrial perspective to a history of revolutionary Mexico that remains overshadowed by studies of the countryside.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48681357345003,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":97.05,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780521034791-1.jpg?v=1781625451","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9780521034791","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
