A History of American Working-Class Literature sheds light not only
on the lived experience of class but the enormously varied
creativity of working-class people throughout the history of what
is now the United States. By charting a chronology of working-class
experience, as the conditions of work have changed over time, this
volume shows how the practice of organizing, economic competition,
place, and time shape opportunity and desire. The subjects range
from transportation narratives and slave songs to the literature of
deindustrialization and globalization. Among the literary forms
discussed are memoir, journalism, film, drama, poetry, speeches,
fiction, and song. Essays focus on plantation, prison, factory, and
farm, as well as on labor unions, workers' theaters, and innovative
publishing ventures. Chapters spotlight the intersections of class
with race, gender, and place. The variety, depth, and many
provocations of this History are certain to enrich the study and
teaching of American literature.
