| Wobblies reviews |
A vibrant history in graphic
art of the “Wobblies,” published for the centenary
of the founding of the Industrial Workers of the World.
Tell the bosses to go to hell and buy
an extra copy of this wonderful history. Give it to an exploited
friend or just leave it in a public place. On the centenary
of the IWW, we should be replanting the seeds of rebellion.”
– Mike Davis, author of City of
Quartz and Planet of Slums
"When I was in graduate school, we longed
for "Classic Comics" of some of our more inaccessible
historical tomes. Paul Buhle and Nicole Schulman have gone way
beyond that with Wobblies! A Graphic History. Carefully researched,
interesting, informative and accessible, this book could not
be more timely."
– Sara Paretsky, author of the
V.I. Warshawski novels
“America, contrary to what you might
have been led to believe, has a deep indigenous radical tradition.
Wobblies! excavates an essential part of American history that
has been conveniently overlooked in recent years, and does so
with style, great graphics, and no punches pulled.”
– Luc Sante, author of Low Life
and Evidence
“The Wobblies made a unique and remarkable
contribution to American culture and the everlasting struggles
for freedom and justice, with effects that reach very far, and
should in the future as well. The excitement and inspiration
of their creative and courageous work is brilliantly captured
in this wonderful graphic history.”
– Noam Chomsky, author of Hegemony
or Survival
"Paul Buhle and Nicole Schulman shine
an illuminating spotlight on a dimly lit corner of American
history with their "Wobblies, A Graphic History"--
and, even better-- it's chock full of great images. The Wobblies
never stood so tall."
– Bill Griffith, Artist, Zippy
the Pinhead.
"Wobblies! is an entertaining and richly
instructive history of the IWW, a story told largely through
illustrations whose styles vary from spare to surreal. Some
of the stories and biographies are familiar, others obscure
or little known. But the lessons are stark: even the most progressive
activists today suffer little for their convictions, and our
dreams and expectations and goals are narrow and shriveled compared
to those of the Wobblies who provide our inspiration.”
– David Newby, President of the
Wisconsin, AFL-CIO
“Political cartooning has experienced
a genuine revival in recent years, led in part by the remarkable
editor-artists of 'World War III Illustrated'. This new book
connects some of today's most exciting cartoonists -- Seth Tobocman,
Sabrina Jones, Fly, Kevin Pyle, Nicole Schulman, Peter Kuper
and many others -- with one of the great dramas of the labor
movement -- the rise and fall (and rise?) of the Industrial
Workers of the World. 'The Wobblies: A Graphic History of the
Industrial Workers of the World' is more than a superb-looking
coffee table book; it is an introduction to a critically important
chapter in American history, and a graphic guide to grassroots
political organizing. This book is highly recommended to fans
of cartooning and class warfare.”
– Kent Worcester, a regular contributor
to The Comics Journal and the coeditor of 'Arguing Comics: Literary
Masters on a Popular Medium' (2005)"
