The I.W.W.

The I.W.W.: A Study Of American Syndicalism is a book written by Paul Frederick Brissenden in 1919. The book is a comprehensive study of the Industrial Workers of the World (I.W.W.), a labor union that was founded in 1905 in the United States. The I.W.W. was known for its radicalism and its commitment to industrial unionism, which sought to unite all workers in a particular industry into a single union. In this book, Brissenden examines the history and ideology of the I.W.W., as well as its major campaigns and strikes. He also explores the organization's relationship with other labor unions and with the government. Brissenden provides a critical analysis of the I.W.W.'s tactics and strategies, and he assesses the union's impact on the labor movement in the United States.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the I.W.W.'s history and ideology. Some of the topics covered in the book include the I.W.W.'s philosophy of industrial unionism, its opposition to the mainstream labor movement, its involvement in the free speech fights of the early 20th century, and its role in the Lawrence textile strike of 1912.Overall, The I.W.W.: A Study Of American Syndicalism is an important historical document that provides valuable insights into the history of the labor movement in the United States. Brissenden's analysis remains relevant today, as labor unions continue to play an important role in American society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
