Summary:
"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 looks 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."--Publisher's website.
