There, at a time of mass immigration by impoverished Jews--persecuted by a right-wing press and an \"anti-alien\" movement--he organized demonstrations of up to 25,000 against the contemporary Russian pogroms. Rocker established the Jewish Bakers Union in a community action where housewives would only buy union label bread, and most famously, in 1912, organized a general strike of Jewish tailors, which abolished the sweatshop system. \u003ci\u003eThe London Years\u003c\/i\u003e is the autobiography of a remarkable man and chronicles this vanished world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRudolf Rocker\u003c\/b\u003e, the main theorist of anarcho-syndicalism, edited numerous Yiddish political and cultural journals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e AK Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781904859222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 6.06w x 0.59d","brand":"Rudolf Rocker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40422962856117,"sku":"9781904859222","price":18.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_6919f7ad-841d-43f7-9342-e990c3e1d6a2.jpg?v=1625575182","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-london-years-9781904859222","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
