г
America s workers have been singing, reciting, performing, telling stories, writing, and pubKshing for
more than three centuries. Ranging from early colonial times to the present, American Working-Class
Literature presents more than
300
literary texts that exemplify this
tradition.
It demonstrates how
American working people live, labor, struggle, express themselves, and give meaning to their experi¬
ences both inside and outside of the workplace. The only book of its kind, this groundbreaking
anthology includes work not only by the industrial proletariat but also by slaves and unskilled work¬
ers, by those who work unpaid at home, and by workers in contemporary service industries. As
diverse in race, gender, culture, and region as America s working class itself, the selections represent a
wide range of genres including fiction, poetry, drama, memoir, oratory, journalism, letters, oral his¬
tory, and songs. Works by little-known or anonymous authors are included alongside texts from such
acclaimed writers as Frederick Douglass, Upton Sinclair, Tillie
Olsen,
Philip
Levine, Maxine Hong
Kingston, and Leslie Marmon Silko. A rich selection of contemporary writing includes Martin
Espada s poem
Alabanza
about the September
11, 2001,
attack on the World Trade Center.
American Working-Class Literature is organized chronologically into seven sections that highlight
key historical and cultural developments in working-class life. The book is enhanced by an editors
introduction, section introductions, and individual head notes for each selection that provide biog¬
raphical and historical context. A timeline of working-class history, rich illustrations, sidebars, read¬
ing lists, and a bibliography of critical commentary are also included. This unique volume is ideal for
courses in American literature, cultural and working-class studies, and labor history.

г
America's workers have been singing, reciting, performing, telling stories, writing, and pubKshing for
more than three centuries. Ranging from early colonial times to the present, American Working-Class
Literature presents more than
300
literary texts that exemplify this
tradition.
It demonstrates how
American working people live, labor, struggle, express themselves, and give meaning to their experi¬
ences both inside and outside of the workplace. The only book of its kind, this groundbreaking
anthology includes work not only by the industrial proletariat but also by slaves and unskilled work¬
ers, by those who work unpaid at home, and by workers in contemporary service industries. As
diverse in race, gender, culture, and region as America's working class itself, the selections represent a
wide range of genres including fiction, poetry, drama, memoir, oratory, journalism, letters, oral his¬
tory, and songs. Works by little-known or anonymous authors are included alongside texts from such
acclaimed writers as Frederick Douglass, Upton Sinclair, Tillie
Olsen,
Philip
Levine, Maxine Hong
Kingston, and Leslie Marmon Silko. A rich selection of contemporary writing includes Martin
Espada's poem
"Alabanza"
about the September
11, 2001,
attack on the World Trade Center.
American Working-Class Literature is organized chronologically into seven sections that highlight
key historical and cultural developments in working-class life. The book is enhanced by an editors'
introduction, section introductions, and individual head notes for each selection that provide biog¬
raphical and historical context. A timeline of working-class history, rich illustrations, sidebars, read¬
ing lists, and a bibliography of critical commentary are also included. This unique volume is ideal for
courses in American literature, cultural and working-class studies, and labor history. \ |
