Within a decade, this radical union was effectively destroyed, the victim of the most remarkable campaign of legal repression and vigilantism in American history. Under the Iron Heel is the first comprehensive account of this campaign. Founded in 1905, the IWW offered to the millions of workers aggrieved by industrial capitalism a radical and militant program that drew them into the union's ranks in great numbers. But its growth, coinciding with World War I and the Russian Revolution, was seen by powerful capitalists and government officials as an existential threat and it had to be stopped. In Under the Iron Heel, Ahmed White documents the torrent of legal persecution and extralegal, sometimes lethal violence that shattered the IWW. In so doing, he reveals the remarkable courage of those who faced this campaign, uncovers the origins of the profoundly unequal and conflicted nation we know today, and lays bare disturbing truths about the law, political repression, and the limits of free speech and association in class society"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a Industrial Workers of the World $x History. 610 27 $a Industrial Workers of the World. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00545991 650 0 $a Labor unions $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Labor unions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00990260 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a White, Ahmed, 1970- $t Under the iron heel $d Oakland, California : University of California Press, [2022] $z 9780520382411 $w (DLC) 2021062860 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230418012732.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7A0B5068DDAE11EDB031D5162DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
