Synopsis
The Worker and His Country examines the rise of syndicalism and how workers organize to change society.
It explains what syndicalists believe, how they differ from Marxist thought, and why local action matters.
The book traces the movement from its roots in French labor exchanges to the formation of local, self-governing structures. It shows how these clubs, or Bourses du Travail, gathered workers from different trades, built funds, and started education and solidarity programs. Through careful analysis, the work highlights both the appeal and the risks of a movement focused on economic warfare and local autonomy.
- Clear definitions of syndicalism and its guiding questions about power, work, and society
- Describes the local organization, like Bourses du Travail, and how they foster unity across trades
- Contrasts syndicalist ideas with Marxist theory and central government plans
- Examples of how workers organize, fund strikes, and pursue practical rights on the ground
Ideal for readers interested in labor history, political science, and the practical work of social change.
