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. The London Years is the autobiography of a remarkable man and chronicles this vanished world.Rudolf Rocker, the main theorist of anarcho-syndicalism, edited numerous Yiddish political and cultural journals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51320780390688,"sku":"NEW1904859224","price":14.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51Ow176MryL.jpg?v=1773082093","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-london-years-1904859224","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
