Abstract: | In spite of the extensive historiographical literature on labor
relations in Portugal during the first decades of the 20th century, the
environment remains a subject undervalued in the history of
labor organization and struggles (Barca. 2012; Montrie, 2000, 2008,
Neto, 2004). In this paper, we explore how new relationships with
nature were embedded in anarcho-syndicalism Utopias, values and
struggles for human emancipation. We shall focus first on the
diverse contemporary workers' narratives about future society and
then in the struggles of the fishermen of Setubal for a better life from
the 1890s to the 1930s before they were defeated by industrial and fascist
forces. We show how those struggles have been trigged by the aim of
preserving of fishery resources and illustrates how lowering of social
inequality induced degrowth and promoted sustainability. This
process towards lowering work and extractivism were conscious and
alarm the conservative forces. Industrialists used technology and
State power to overcame those revolutionary menaces from bellow. |
