The tale of another new industrial village in the twenties- Fordlandia. An American village recreated in the jungle by Henry Ford- where he bizzarely imposed american culture on the workers- like requiring Ayleshamers to eat cucumber sandwiches and join the hunt at the weekend-
The Brazilian workers had spirit: - a major trigger of the eventual riots was the force feeding of hamburgers. Funny that, today we'll pay a big american corporation to eat them!
