À New York, Paris, Los Angeles, Dacca, ou São Paulo, les ateliers de confection sont une figure historique de la métropole industrielle. Pointés du doigt en raison de l’inhumanité des conditions de travail imposées aux ouvriers qui s’y côtoient, les sweatshops surprennent par leur stabilité et leur longévité dans des environnements urbains pourtant en pleine mutation. Au travers d’une large enquête menée à São Paulo, dans le vieux centre-ville industriel et les quartiers périphériques, ce livre plonge dans la mécanique de l’organisation et du fonctionnement de l’atelier, retrace les parcours de celles et ceux qui y travaillent et révèle la dynamique urbaine associée à cette industrie particulière. Ainsi, l’atelier de confection apparaît comme le point d’articulation de la dynamique migratoire, du changement social et démographique, et des différents circuits d’une économie mondialisée. Alors que la consommation de vêtements croît à un rythme inégalé, les ateliers de São Paulo sont en symbiose avec l’environnement urbain dont ils exploitent les interstices, et sont en phase avec les modes de vie d’une société amplement urbanisée où la consommation progresse dans toutes les classes sociales. En éclairant les univers sociaux, économiques et spatiaux de l’atelier, défini comme un objet métropolitain, cette géographie de la confection dévoile en même temps les tensions et évolutions de la société brésilienne à l’aube du XXIe siècle.

"This project is a translation into English of a book by Oswaldo Truzzi on Syrians and Lebanese in São Paulo from the end of the 19th century to the 1950s. Truzzi begins by describing migrants' reasons for emigrating to Brazil. He examines the economic trajectory of many of the immigrants, from peddlers to retailers, wholesale traders, and industrialists, and discusses their efforts to reinvent the unfavorable identity of "merchant" by relating it to a strong work ethic and to a mission of spreading the novelties of progress (the merchandises they commercialized) to the farthest corners of Brazil. Truzzi considers the process of differentiation within the group, both economically and in terms of religious and ethnic affinities (particularly the perception of differences between Syrians and Lebanese), and discusses the professional aspirations of the second generation. He also undertakes a comparative discussion of Syrians and Lebanese in Brazil and the United States, noting the importance of pioneering commercial activities in haberdashery, clothing, and textile sectors, a niche dominated by Jews in the United States that Syrians and Lebanese pioneered in Brazil. The book closes with a discussion of a more recent wave of Lebanese Muslims migrants to São Paulo beginning in the 1960s"--

São Paulo, by far the most populated state in Brazil, has an economy to rival that of Colombia or Venezuela. Its capital city is the fourth largest metropolitan area in the world. How did São Paulo, once a frontier province of little importance, become one of the most vital agricultural and industrial regions of the world? This volume explores the transformation of São Paulo through an economic lens. Francisco Vidal Luna and Herbert S. Klein provide a synthetic overview of the growth of São Paulo from 1850 to 1950, analyzing statistical data on demographics, agriculture, finance, trade, and infrastructure. Quantitative analysis of primary sources, including almanacs, censuses, newspapers, state and ministerial-level government documents, and annual government reports offers granular insight into state building, federalism, the coffee economy, early industrialization, urbanization, and demographic shifts. Luna and Klein compare São Paulo's transformation to other regions from the same period, making this an essential reference for understanding the impact of early periods of economic growth.
