Sobre IBD

Joe Hill emigrated from Sweden to the United States in 1902, eventually joining the Industrial Workers of the World and becoming the most celebrated labor songwriter in the country. In 1915, he was executed for a crime that is widely believed he did not commit, and in the 1930s, the song 'Joe Hill' was created to honor this legendary labor martyr. This book, the first to tell the story of the song 'Joe Hill,' follows the song’s national and international diaspora as it developed from a labor union ballad into an international anti-war anthem and rallying cry for all people to rise up against their oppressors. Included are the historical contexts of the song’s many eras and the performers who ensured its continued relevance, such as Paul Robeson, Joan Baez, Pete Seeger, and Utah Phillips.
