Description

The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) in Australia are better known for the stories told about them than for any document historical significance.

Renowned for their audacity and hooliganism the 'Wobblies' were particularly notorious for their active opposition to World War I.

This landmark book conveys the vitality and drama of Wobbly activity, and also assesses the impact of the IWW on Australian political and labour history.

Drawing from an impressive range of sources, Verity Burgmann writes with vigour and passion about Wobbly culture, and describes their doctrines, methods and organisation.

The book highlights the unique nature of the IWW in Australia, and traces Wobbly influence in much post-war activity.

Now, with the widespread collapse of communism and the inadequacies of labour parties, the IWW, as an alternative form of revolutionary working-class politics, merits renewed investigation.
