WORKING CLASS LITERATURE . No. 466.

Richard Meyers' site, Rebel Graphics, is dedicated to change. He has posters, cartoons, poetry and writing from the point of view of working folk engaged in the struggle for justice.

Of special interest to librarians is his annotated Working Class Literature. A sample annotation:

Brownsville: Stories — Oscar Casares. Probing underneath the surface of Tex-Mex culture, Casares's stories, with their wisecracking, temperamental, obsessive middle-aged men and their dramas straight from neighborhood gossip are in the direct line of descent from Mark Twain and Ring Lardner. [This one was an ALA Notable Book].
