From the early 1970s, working class writing and publishing in local
communities rapidly proliferated into a national movement. This
book is the first full evaluation of these developments and opens
up new perspectives on literature, culture, class and identity over
the past 50 years. Its origins are traced in the context of
international shifts in class politics, civil rights, personal
expression and cultural change. The writing of young people, older
people, adult literacy groups as well as writing workshops is
analysed. Thematic chapters explore how audiences consumed this
work, the learning of writers, the fierce debates over identity,
class and organisation, as well as changing relations with
mainstream institutions. The book is accessibly written but engages
with a wide range of scholarly work in history, education, cultural
studies, literature and sociology. It will be of interest to
lecturers and students in these areas as well as the general
reader. -- .
