Schujman – Las Cooperativas de Trabajo en América Latina (2015)

Mario Schujman’s 900-page compendium from 2015, Las Cooperativas de Trabajo en América Latina, focuses its first 300 pages on Argentina,  and then offers a survey of readings from Brazil, Costa Rica, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Venezuela.  

In the introduction José Orbaicetta of CICOPA and FECOTRA celebrates Argentinian worker co-ops and social co-ops, condemns fraudulent pseudo-cooperatives, urges partnership with government and universities to resist economic imperialism, and emphasizes political organizing within solidarity federations.
