The Working and Writing for Change series began during the 100th an-niversary celebrations of NCTE. It was designed to recognize the collec-tive work of teachers of English, Writing, Composition, and Rhetoric to work within and across diverse identities to ensure the îeld recognize and respect language, educational, political, and social rights of all stu-dents, teachers, and community members. While initially solely focused on the work of NCTE/CCCC Special Interest Groups and Caucuses, the series now includes texts written by individuals in partnership with other communities struggling for social recognition and justice.

PRO(SE)LETARIETS

Preface Steve Parks, Syracuse University Nick Pollard, Shefîeld Hallam University Federation of Worker Writers and Community Publishers Six years ago, in a Syracuse University classroom, three students quietly talked about the lack of working class voices in their classrooms. There was working class “literature” to be sure. But working class voices, actual working class students, seemed rare. In such an environment, they wondered how their experiences of labor, of motherhood, of being working class, could be recognized, validated, or legitimated by the wealthy students around them.

The Trans-Atlantic Worker Writer Federation grew from this moment of alienation. As educators, separated by the Atlantic ocean, but sharing a commitment to working class students, we decided this moment could not be repeated. Working together, we developed a series of courses at Syracuse University focused on working class writing. Each course was linked to a local Syracuse union writing group, the Basement Writers, as well as to the Federation of Worker Writers and Community Publishers (FWWCP), a national network of similar groups in the United Kingdom that had existed for over 30 years.
