As economy becomes ever more globalized, immigrant workers constitute an increasing proportion of the workforce in the United States (e.g., "In recent years, 20 percent of the workers joining the U.S. labor force nationwide have been Mexican born" [Richard D. Vogel, "Border Vigilantes and Mass Migration," <http://mrzine.monthlyreview.org/ vogel220705.html>]), and US organized labor stands at a crossroads, we need Wobbliness more than ever.
Peter's article mentions the IWW Centennial Tour <http:// www.wobblyshow.org/>, a traveling IWW exhibit that Paul and Derek Seidman helped put together. I included links to wobblyshow.org in both articles. Be sure to check it out -- here's the tour schedule: <http://www.wobblyshow.org/tour.php>.
Peter's article, in addition to discussing Travis Wilkerson's "An Injury to One," one of the most moving documentaries ever made (and Brechtian, too), includes text of Naomi Wallace's poem about Frank LIttle. I adore her!
The next article by Paul, a review of Richard Bermack's The Front Lines of Social Change: Veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade" (cf. <http://www.rb68.com/frontlines/index.htm> and <http:// www.heydaybooks.com/public/books/flsc.html>), should come out shortly.
