Description: "Examines state control and worker resistance in late-19th- and early-20th-century Mato Grosso, focusing on industrial work force in the sugar mills.  After turn of the century, domination by traditional coroneis gave way to manipulation by the mills and growing state intervention, e.g., 'vagrancy' laws. Good description of local sugar industry"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
