This article examines public, digital, and labor history in Brazil, highlighting the challenges of constructing a public labor history amid neoliberal deregulation, technological changes, and the silencing of workers. It is argued that the practice of Public History should be encouraged as a professional duty of historians and that, in the Brazilian context, Public Labor History emerged as a practice motivated by the pressures of an unfavorable political climate.References
