When Workers Shot Back: Class Conflict from 1877 to 1921 explores
one of the most tumultuous times in United States history.
Self-organized workers recomposed their power by devising new
strategies and tactics to disrupt the capitalist economy and
extract concessions. Mine, railroad, steel, and iron workers
pursued a strategy of tension that sometimes erupted into militant
class conflict and general strikes in which workers took over and
ran a number of cities. Turning conventional wisdom on its head,
When Workers Shot Back argues that the escalation of working-class
conflict drives rather than reacts to the consolidation and
reorganisation of capital and economic and political reform of the
state. Studying the class composition of this period illustrates
why workers escalated the intensity of their tactics, even using
tactical violence, to extract concessions and reforms when all
other efforts to do so were blocked, co-opted or repressed.
