As Carrillo recounts, in the mid-2000s, Brazil embarked on a state-led project to improve environmental and labour conditions in sugarcane production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe describes how, seeing increased government regulation of their worksite as a threat to their power, the elites of Brazil’s sugar-ethanol industry repurposed long-standing racial ideologies to undermine progressive institutions and elevate their own leaders. Carrillo’s extensive ethnographic fieldwork in mills and plantations, as well as interviews with federal labour regulators and sugar-ethanol industry elites in Brazil, weaves together an account of how Brazil’s labour and environmental regulations are forged through racial and class struggles at worksites and within the state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Business of Racism\u003c\/em\u003e contributes to ongoing sociological debates about race, development, and the environment while highlighting future pathways for achieving racial justice, labour equality, and climate sustainability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47934296785132,"sku":"9781478029700","price":349.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781478029700-the-business-of-racism.jpg?v=1783909988","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/the-business-of-racism-by-ian-carrillo-9781478029700","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
