Bugle Calls

Bugle Calls: Awake, Educate, Agitate, Act! is a book written by Benjamin Wood and published in 1901. The book is a collection of essays and speeches that Wood delivered during his time as a labor organizer and political activist in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The title of the book refers to the bugle calls used in military camps to signal various activities, such as waking up, eating, and marching. Wood uses this metaphor to urge his readers to wake up to the injustices of the capitalist system, educate themselves on the issues facing working-class people, agitate for change, and take action to improve their lives. The book covers a wide range of topics related to labor and social justice, including the exploitation of workers, the need for unions, the role of the state in regulating business, and the importance of solidarity among different groups of workers. Wood also discusses the relationship between race and class, arguing that working-class people of all races should unite against their common oppressors. Overall, Bugle Calls: Awake, Educate, Agitate, Act! is a passionate call to action for working-class people to fight for their rights and improve their conditions. Wood's writing is fiery and persuasive, and his arguments are grounded in his own experiences as a labor organizer and activist. The book is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the struggles of working-class people in the early 20th century and continues to resonate with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
