Abstract | |
A great informal market extends for streets and squares. In São Paulo, thousands of men and women sell all kinds of goods to survive. In Brazilian society, the unequal distribution of education, culture, houses, wealth and so on, as well as the migration and new transformations that occur to working process and organisation, engender a devilish combination, whose main cause/consequence is the disrespect to the right-to-work. The reading and analysis of academic books and texts, and interviews about street peddlers working experiences reveal the making of Brazilian society as a history of (re)production of unworthy life conditions.
