- This monograph of over 300 pages draws on an extended body of ethnographic research in the Brazilian steel town of Volta Redonda. The research included one year of intensive fieldwork in 2008-9 with additional research trips in 2011 and 2012. The highly volatile political context meant that building trust and gaining access to the notably wide range of research participants required considerable persistence, tenacity and inventiveness over an extended period. In addition the research draws on two decades of experience and intellectual engagement with the steel industry and with class, industrial relations and capitalism, enabling a forensic depth of focus.
