The Industrial Workers of the World is a union unlike any other.
Founded in 1905 in Chicago, it rapidly gained members across the
world thanks to its revolutionary, internationalist outlook. By
using powerful organising methods including direct-action and
direct-democracy, it put power in the hands of workers. This
philosophy is labeled as 'revolutionary industrial unionism' and
the members called, affectionately, 'Wobblies'. This book is the
first to look at the history of the IWW from an international
perspective. Bringing together a group of leading scholars, it
includes lively accounts from a number diverse countries including
Australia, Canada, Mexico, South Africa, Sweden and Ireland, which
reveal a fascinating story of global anarchism, syndicalism and
socialism. Drawing on many important figures of the movements such
as Tom Barker, Har Dayal, Joe Hill, James Larkin and William D.
"Big Bill" Haywood, and exploring particular industries including
shipping, mining, and agriculture, this book describes how the IWW
and its ideals travelled around the world.
