Archives, representations and memory of rural workers: labor conflicts in the sugar cane zone of Pernambuco

The present work intends to make an analysis on the archival records of rural workers' movements and their representations on the way to Labor Justice. We used labor lawsuits from the archive of the Regional Labor Court of the 6th Region and police records of the Department of Political and Social Order of Pernambuco, produced between the 1970s and 1980s.. The objective is to think the memory of the work from the archives constituted by judicial and police sources of the rural workers of the canavieira zone of Pernambuco. The collections will constitute sources for the analysis of the experiences of wage earners and the construction of a history of workers in the countryside
