Acknowledgments
This book was originally developed as a paper during my stay as visiting researcher at the Institute for Research on Labor and Employment – IRLE/ UCLA, which was carried out from November 2015 to October 2016. It was greatly benefited by the academic environment brought about by the IRLE. My special thanks to Chris Tilly, Institute’s Director until July 2016, for his assistance, cooperation, and support. I also thank José Ricardo Ramalho, Alexandre Barbosa, and Gerry Rodgers who have read it, especially Rodgers who has sent me many commentaries. A brief version of this paper was published in Precarious Work, Development and the Social Question in Brazil, FES – Análise, n. 25/2017.
