Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A RADICAL LABOR CLASSICUndoubtedly the most popular book in American labor history, the I.W.W.s Little Red Song Book has been a staple item on picket lines and at other workers gatherings for generations, and has gone through numerous editions.As a result of I.W.W. efforts to keep up with the times, however, recent versions of the songbook have omitted most of the old-time favorites, especially the raucous lyrics of the free-spirited hoboes who made up such a large portion of the unions membership in its heyday. For example, recent versions have left out all but a few of the celebrated songs of Joe Hill, T-Bone Slim, Ralph Chaplin, and other pioneer bards of the One Big Unionand many of the few remaining older songs have been abridged or otherwise modified.The steadily mounting interest in Wobbly history and culture warrants this facsimile edition of a classic Little Red Song Book from the unions Golden Age. Reprinted here is the Nineteenth Edition, originally issued in 1923, the year the I.W.W. reached its peak membership.Of the fifty-two songs in this book, the overwhelming majority have not been included in the I.W.W.s own songbooks for many years. Here are such classics as Joe Hills John Golden and the Lawrence Strike, We Will Sing One Song, Scissor Bill, The Tramp, and others; T-Bone Slims Im Too Old to Be a Scab, Mysteries of a Hobos Life, I Wanna Free Miss Liberty, and others; Ralph Chaplins All Hell Cant Stop Us, Up from Your Knees, May Day Song, and more; and other songs by C.G. Allen, Richard Brazier, Pat Brennan, James Connolly, Laura Payne Emerson, and many others.Ninety years ago these songs were sung with gusto in Wobbly halls and hobo jungles from Brooklyn to San Pedro. And theyre still fun to sing today! Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Organizing Cools the Planet offers a challenge to all concerned about the ecological crisis: find your frontline. This booklet weaves together stories, analysis, organizing tools, and provocative questions, to offer a snapshot of the North American Climate Justice movement and provide pathways for readers to participate in it. Authors share hard lessons learned, reflect on strategy, and grapple with the challenges of their roles as organizers who do not come from frontline communities but work to build a movement big enough for everyone and led by the priorities and solutions of low-income people, communities of color, Indigenous, youth, and other constituencies most directly impacted by the crisis. Rooted in the authors experiences organizing in local, national, and international arenas, they challenge readers to look at the scale of ecological collapse with open eyes, without falling prey to disempowering doomsday narratives.

Oakland: PM Press:, 2013. First edition, TPBO, Trade paperback, New, 110 pp. John Shirley is smart. Nice too. Literate even. A rare blue plate special. "Mixing outlaw humor, sci-fi adventure, and cutting social criticism, this collection draws upon John Shirley's entire arsenal. The title essay, 'New Taboos' is his prescription for a radical revisioning of America. A new short story, 'State of Imprisonment,' is a horrifying and hilarious look at the privatization of the prison industry. The one percent gets their comeuppance in 'Where the Market's Hottest.' His TEDx address (delivered in Brussels in 2011) presents his proudly contrarian views of the next 40 years.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Legendary legal scholar Staughton Lynd teams up with influential labor organizer Daniel Gross in this exposition on solidarity unionism, the do-it-yourself workplace organizing system that is rapidly gaining prominence around the country and around the world. Lynd and Gross make the audacious argument that workers themselves on the shop floor, not outside union officials, are the real hope for labor's future. Utilizing the principles of solidarity unionism, any group of co-workers, like the workers at Starbucks, can start building an organization to win an independent voice at work without waiting for a traditional trade union to come and "organize" them. Indeed, in a leaked recording of a conference call, the nation's most prominent union-busting lobbyist coined a term, "the Starbucks problem," as a warning to business executives about the risk of working people organizing themselves and taking direct action to improve issues at work. Combining history and theory with the groundbreaking practice of the model used by Starbucks workers, Lynd and Gross make a compelling case for solidarity unionism as an effective, resilient, and deeply democratic approach to winning a voice on the job and in society.
