Synopsis

This book is about perspectives, in many ways challenging stereotypical views of working-class culture and art with the authentic accounts of those who live and work there ... The conflict between what is said and what we know, what we hear about our culture and what we experience creates a tension that many seek to remedy through expression. We found the prime motivator of most working-class writing is the drive to bridge the perceptual gap with the truth (from the Introduction).
