About

David Struthers is a writer, editor, and historian. Originally from Southern California’s Inland Empire, he grew up rock climbing and enjoying the outdoors throughout the western United States. His travels have since taken him through North America, Europe, the former Soviet Union, and Asia. He received a BA in history from UC Riverside before moving east and earning an MA and PhD in history from Carnegie Mellon University.

David has lived in Copenhagen, Denmark for more than a decade where he has lectured at the University of Copenhagen and the Copenhagen Business School. His monograph titled The World in a City: Multiethnic Radicalism in Early Twentieth Century Los Angeles (University of Illinois Press, 2019) explores the potential for radical multiracial affinities in a city and region with a rapidly developing economy and large-scale immigration. The book was awarded the Shelley Fisher Fishkin Prize for International Scholarship in Transnational American Studies by American Studies Association in 2019. His volume Wobblies of the World: A Global History of the IWW (Pluto Press, 2017), edited with Peter Cole and Kenyon Zimmer, is the first global history of the Industrial Workers of the World.
