1. See also B. Fausto, Trabalho Urbano e Conflito Social (Rio de Janeiro: Difusão Editorial [DIFEL], 1977), for a similar analysis of the Brazilian labor force.

5. That Argentina should be an exception to this general pattern is more apparent than real. The fact that the U.S. Embassy had identified Perón with the Axis bloc in the 1940s and had unsuccessfully attempted to intervene against him in the 1946 elections gave a radically different cast to union-state relations in Argentina. Amongst other factors, diplomatic tensions between the United States and Argentina placed an obstacle in the path of U.S. influence over labor union developments in this period.

6. I am indebted to my colleagues of the history seminar entitled “Labor between the Second World War and the Cold War,” at the Institute for Latin American Studies in London, and in particular to Leslie Bethell, for a series of stimulating discussions on these questions.
