The stories of the hard-rock miners' shooting wars, young Elizabeth
Gurly Flynn (the "Rebel Girl" of contemporary sheet music), the
first sit-down strikes and Free Speech fights, Emma Goldman and the
struggle for birth control access, the Pageant for Paterson
orchestrated in Madison Square Garden, bohemian radicals John Reed
and Louise Bryant, field-hand revolts and lumber workers' strikes,
wartime witch hunts, government prosecutions and mob lynching,
Mexican-American uprisings in Baja, and Mexican peasant revolts led
by Wobblies, hilarious and sentimental songs created and later
revived-all are here, and much, much more. The IWW, which has been
organizing workers since 1905, is often cited yet elusive to
scholars because of its eclectic and controversial cultural and
social character. Wobblies! presents the IWW whole, scripted and
drawn by old-time and younger Wobbly and IWW-inspired artists.
Contributors include Carlos Cortez (former editor of the Industrial
Worker), Harvey Pekar (author of American Splendor), Peter Kuper
(MAD's Spy vs. Spy), Sue Coe, Seth Tobocman, Chris Cardinale, Ryan
Inzana, Spain Rodriques, Trina Robbins, Sharon Rudahl, and the
circle of artists for World War 3 Illustrated.
