A review of the essay collection Wobblies of the World: A Global History of the IWW.

Abstract: 
--

Excerpt:

To overcome the constraints on any one study or scholar, the editors have brought together nineteen essays by scholars inside the academy and activists outside the academy whose linguistic skills and archival digging cover languages as diverse as Finnish, Swedish, French, Spanish, Italian and Maori, and whose archival work ranges from Canada to Mexico, from Sweden to South Africa, from India to Australasia.

Instead of reviewing all nineteen essays separately, here I want to highlight and discuss three interrelated themes that run throughout the collection: emergent ideological currents, the carriers of these currents, and the expressions of these currents in different countries.
