| Summary: | The authors discuss the life histories of some petroleum and petrochemical workers in Bahia, Brazil. They selected workers with different professional status and with different relation to the labor movement and reconstructed their family, professional and residential trajectories. The analysis is focused on three main questions: (i) how personal trajectories evolve in contexts of intense social mobility ; (ii) which are the different ways of entering the industrial world ; and (iii) which of their personal dispositions can explain their choice of an individual or a collective project as they organize their life trajectories. |
