The Making of Western Labor Radicalism breaks with the standard interpretations to maintain that the Industrial Workers of the World's emergence was a logical extension of the late nineteenth-century labor traditions and not a sharp break with the past. David Brundage focuses on Denver's organized workers, showing that all of the IWW's key features---its syndicalism, its commitment to organizing unskilled workers, and its effort to construct a movement culture---had deep roots in the city's craft union and labor reform movements. He relates ideological change to the social history of the city's working people.
