--Viviana Patroni, Review Historique
"Welch's contribution to a critical revision of the history of rural workers at a watershed moment in the history of Brazil is well-informed, original, and extremely timely. It is this kind of detailed case study that will prove essential in the re-elaboration of our perspectives on labor's capacity for autonomy, its limits, and its political implications."
--Viviana Patroni, Review Historique
"This is a pioneering work on a neglected topic, an important contribution to labor history, and a work whose argument historians of modern Brazil will be unable to ignore."
--Hendrik Kraay, Business History Review
"The Seed Was Planted is an expertly written chronological narrative, the result of more than twelve years of work by the author. Welch applies tireless care in the effort at authenticity, taking the reader through forty years of the São Paulo rural labor movement. What emerges is the drama of a very human experience, structured by the scholarly craft of the historian."
--Anthony R. Brunello, Perspectives on Political Science
"The book is a carefully crafted case study of rural labor politics in Ribeirão Preto in western São Paulo's Alta Mogiana. . . . [Welch] has produced an admirable, outstanding piece of scholarship. Readers must study it themselves, as this review may not do justice to its richness."
--Luis A. Gonzalez, Journal of Interamerican Studies and World Affairs
"Cliff Welch has made a major contribution. He has helped restore the historical roots of the Brazilian rural movements and underlined their importance and complexity. . . . It should be emulated by historians of Brazil and also by those of other Latin American countries. It is a book well worth reading."
--Joel Horowitz, Labor History
