The Soul of the Wobblies: The I.W.W., Religion, and American Culture in the Progressive Era, 1905-1917 ...
Donald E. Winters

Greenwood Press, 1985

This important work offers a new view of the Wobblies by examining not only their connection to American culture but their relationship to early twentieth-century American religion. Winters firmly believes that there is a strong religious character in the Wobblies. He focuses on figures such as Eugene Debs and Father Hagerty, depicting them as early pioneers of the unique beliefs the I.W.W. would ...
  
  











  



  
The Wobblies: The Story of the IWW and Syndicalism in the United States
Patrick Renshaw

Ivan R. Dee, Publisher, 1999

The definitive book on the Wobblies

+ Sound familiar 100 years later?
+ Book description misleading: Wobblies still very much alive.

A great book for readers interested in labor, social, and radical history. This book is excellent in revealing the clash between socialists, anarchists, communists, and industrial unionists. The IWW was the home of American radicals from 1905-1930. From Eugene V. Debs of the Socialist Party of ...

Battling for American Labor: Wobblies, Craft Workers, and the Making of the Union Movement
Howard Kimeldorf

University of California Press, 1999

Unconvincing finding of class consciousness

The author's primary goal is to destroy the myth held by many that the American working class turned to the AFL because it does not regard itself as a class in opposition to the capitalist class. More of the myth is that workers do not find it necessary to participate in politics and they view ...
  
  











  



  
We Shall Be All: A History of the Industrial Workers of the World (abridged ed.) (Working Class in American ...
Melvyn Dubofsky

University of Illinois Press, 2000

This is THE history of the IWW, despite the problems...

+ Superb History

Historiographically speaking, this is THE book to read on the history of the IWW. There are other attempts worth reading, (Renshaw or Thompson for example) but for a solidly researched, brilliantly written academic study, this is the place to go. Renshaw's book includes a few things on the IWW ...
