Wobblies! de Paul Buhle

Wobblies!

Editat de Paul Buhle, Nicole Schulman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 apr 2005

Analizând istoriografia mișcărilor muncitorești prin prisma arhivelor IWW și a mărturiilor vizuale, descoperim în Wobblies! o abordare neconvențională a istoriei americane. Spre deosebire de monografiile academice clasice, acest volum coordonat de Paul Buhle și Nicole Schulman utilizează forța narativă a romanului grafic pentru a reconstrui universul „Industrial Workers of the World”. Putem afirma că lucrarea reușește să surprindă caracterul eclectic și controversat al acestui sindicat, care de la fondarea sa în 1905 a fost adesea considerat evaziv de către cercetători din cauza naturii sale culturale hibride. Structura narativă este fragmentată în episoade ce acoperă de la războaiele miniere și primele greve de tip „sit-down”, până la eforturile Emmei Goldman pentru accesul la controlul nașterilor sau revoltele din Baja. Merită menționat că această ediție Deluxe beneficiază de contribuțiile unor artiști de renume precum Harvey Pekar (American Splendor) și Peter Kuper (Spy vs. Spy), care transpun vizual spiritul radical al epocii. Din punct de vedere istoric, Wobblies! extinde cadrul propus de Wobblies of the World de Peter Cole cu date noi extrase din tradiția grafică a publicațiilor „Industrial Worker” și „World War 3 Illustrated”. În timp ce lucrarea lui Cole oferă o perspectivă globală și eseistică asupra impactului sindicatului, volumul de față prioritizează dimensiunea umană și culturală, transformând datele istorice în secvențe vizuale dinamice ce documentează represiunea guvernamentală și reziliența muncitorilor.

Despre autor

Paul Buhle este un istoric american de prestigiu, fost lector la Brown University și autor a peste treizeci de volume dedicate istoriei stângii americane și culturii populare. Expertiza sa în mișcările muncitorești este completată aici de viziunea editorială a lui Nicole Schulman, artistă și activistă asociată cu publicația „World War 3 Illustrated”. Împreună, aceștia au coordonat un colectiv de artiști și istorici pentru a oferi o imagine completă a fenomenului IWW, îmbinând rigoarea documentară cu estetica benzii desenate underground.

Descriere scurtă

The stories of the hard-rock miners’ shooting wars, young Elizabeth Gurly Flynn (the “Rebel Girl” of contemporary sheet music), the first sit-down strikes and Free Speech fights, Emma Goldman and the struggle for birth control access, the Pageant for Paterson orchestrated in Madison Square Garden, bohemian radicals John Reed and Louise Bryant, field-hand revolts and lumber workers’ strikes, wartime witch hunts, government prosecutions and mob lynching, Mexican-American uprisings in Baja, and Mexican peasant revolts led by Wobblies, hilarious and sentimental songs created and later revived—all are here, and much, much more.

The IWW, which has been organizing workers since 1905, is often cited yet elusive to scholars because of its eclectic and controversial cultural and social character. Wobblies! presents the IWW whole, scripted and drawn by old-time and younger Wobbly and IWW-inspired artists.

Contributors include Carlos Cortez (former editor of the Industrial Worker), Harvey Pekar (author of American Splendor), Peter Kuper (MAD’s Spy vs. Spy), Sue Coe, Seth Tobocman, Chris Cardinale, Ryan Inzana, Spain Rodriques, Trina Robbins, Sharon Rudahl, and the circle of artists for World War 3 Illustrated.

Recenzii

“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

“Wobblies! is a magnificent commemoration of the IWW centenary. The book reminds us that the Wobbly way of direct action and solidarity is as relevant today as it’s ever been. Get hold of the book, share it, and then go take on your boss.”—Daniel Gross

“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

“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

“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

“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

“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

“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
