The Industrial Workers of the World and Agricultural Laborers in the American West, 1905-1930
"The advent of new technologies in the early decades of the twentieth century changed the face of American farming. Increased mechanization and the expansion of markets demanded a new kind of agricultural worker - gone was the local farmhand, replaced by a cheap and temporary labor force of migrant and seasonal workers. In Harvest Wobblies, Greg Hall describes how members of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) organized the men, women, and children who had become so essential and yet so exploited on the farms of the American West."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

He urged those at the conference not to infringe on workers' right to form unions.
On the question of sabotage, which concerned many in attendance, Brazier
explained that sabotage did not mean the destruction of property, but the
withdrawal of efficiency — in other words, a work slowdown. Even though Milroy
and others continued to argue vehemently against IWW activity in the city, Mayor Barton and city officials agreed to allow a Wobbly presence. City leaders would
permit an IWW ...

This book tells the story of the contacts and conflicts between muslims and christians in Southeast Asia during the Dutch colonial history from 1596 until 1950. The author draws from a great variety of sources to shed light on this period: the letters of the colonial pioneer Jan Pietersz. Coen, the writings of 17th century Dutch theologians, the minutes of the Batavia church council, the contracts of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) with the sultans in the Indies, documents from the files of colonial civil servants from the 19th and 20th centuries, to mention just a few. The colonial situation was not a good starting-point for a religious dialogue. With Dutch power on the increase there was even less understanding for the religion of the muslims . In 1620 J.P. Coen, the strait-laced calvinist, had actually a better understanding and respect for the muslims than the liberal colonial leaders from the early 20th century, convinced as they were of western supremacy.
When this book was first published in a Dutch edition in 1991, post-colonial Indonesia was seen as an example of a harmonious and peaceful cohabitation of
a minority of some 9% Christians amidst the world's largest Muslim majority
country (in 2005 Muslims counted 87%, or some 205 million, out of 220 million
citizens. At that time I had just finished seven years of teaching at the State
Academy of Islamic Studies in Jakarta and Yogyakarta. In Jakarta I had lived with
