Digging IWW History: Books Published Since 1963
by Fred Thompson
Since 1964 when Rebel Voices was first issued by the University of Michigan Press, much has been published on the history of the labor movement in general, and on the IWW in particular. This new edition includes the original chapter notes and Selected Bibliography (pages 399–403 and 409–419). What follows is a guide to books published since 1963. Readers who want to set out with the general union background will find the volume History of Labor in the United States, 1896–1932, by Selig Perl-man and Philip Taft, especially useful both for the three chapters (23, 31 and 33) on the IWW, and the setting that the rest of the volume provides.
Bibliographies
The most complete bibliography on the IWW is the 550-page volume Something in Common: An IWW Bibliography by Dione Miles, published by Wayne State University Press, Detroit, in 1986. Dione Miles was for many years in charge of the extensive IWW collection at Wayne State’s Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs. Her earlier IWW bibliography (82 pages) appeared in 1981 as part of Joseph Conlin’s anthology, At the Point of Production, listed below. James C. McBrearty’s American Labor History and Comparative Labor Movements: A Selected Bibliography includes novels as well as scholarly books and essays.
