American Syndicalism

American Syndicalism: The I. W. W. is a book written by John Graham Brooks in 1913. The book is a detailed study of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), a radical labor union that emerged in the United States in the early 20th century. The IWW, also known as the Wobblies, advocated for the overthrow of the capitalist system and the establishment of a socialist society. Brooks provides an in-depth analysis of the origins, ideology, and tactics of the IWW, as well as its role in the broader labor movement. He explores the union’s unique approach to organizing workers, which emphasized direct action, sabotage, and the use of strikes to achieve its goals. Brooks also examines the IWW’s relationship with other labor unions, the government, and the public, and discusses the impact of the union on American society.The book is considered a seminal work on American labor history and the radical left. It provides valuable insights into the political and social context of the early 20th century and sheds light on the struggles of working-class Americans during this period. American Syndicalism: The I. W. W. remains an important reference for scholars, activists, and anyone interested in the history of labor and social movements in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
