Samenvatting

From the early 1970s, working class writing and publishing in local communities rapidly proliferated into a national movement. New literary and historical work challenged dominant cultural ideas and practices. This book is the first full evaluation of these developments which opens up new perspectives on culture, class and identity over the past fifty years.

The origins of this cultural explosion are traced in the context of international shifts in class politics, civil rights, personal expression and cultural change. The actual written output is analysed through a number of lenses, looking at the work of writing workshops, young people, older people and adult literacy groups. Understanding the creative energy of these groups, and the individuals within them, provides crucial insights into everyday working class life often hidden from mainstream commentators.

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.

Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews? Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews?

Negatief, positief, neutraal: we zetten een review altijd online. We controleren wel eerst of ’ie voldoet aan onze reviewvoorwaarden en niet nep is. We controleren ook of ’ie is geschreven door iemand die het artikel heeft gekocht via bol.com en zetten dit er dan bij. De controles gebeuren automatisch, al kijken er soms mensen mee. Bol.com betaalt niet voor reviews. Als een reviewer door een andere partij is vergoed, staat dit in de review zelf.
