Description
The stories of the Industrial Workers of the World are brought to life in this graphic history. From the hard-rock miners' shooting wars to the Pageant for Paterson, Emma Goldman's fight for birth control access and the Mexican-American uprisings in Baja, Wobblies! presents a comprehensive look at the IWW's eclectic and controversial cultural and social character. The book features contributions from a range of artists, including former editor of the Industrial Worker, Harvey Pekar, and MAD's Spy vs. Spy artist Peter Kuper. The result is a unique and engaging visual history that explores the IWW's role in organizing workers since 1905. With its diverse cast of characters and events, Wobblies! offers a fresh perspective on American labor history.
