Dreaming of Joe Hill: Folk Songs by and about the Greatest Hero of the American Labour Movement
Original language description
Joe Hill, born Joel Emmanuel Hägglund, was literally larger than life, achieving immortality through song. Born in Sweden in 1879, he immigrated to the United States and became a prominent labour activist as a member of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), also known as the Wobblies. This paper will look at some of his most well-known songs (The Preacher and the Slave, The Tramp, Casey Jones the Union Scab). There will also be a focus on songs inspired by Hill’s life and death, most famously, I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill LastNight based on the poem by Alfred Hayes and immortalized by the singer and activist Paul Robeson.
