I am foolishly attempting a 10 page paper that requires 20 sources. I want to cover the importance of using Marxist/class analysis in literature, or, barring that, the importance of choosing socialist literature in the English/Writing classroom.
I know it's a niche thing, but I'm too damned stubborn to change my paper to something similar and I'd like some help finding good resources on socialist theory regarding education.
Thank you! I think the bibliography you provided will be the most helpful, since it really is just a need for sources that are coherent at this point. A lot of the stuff I found so far was very theoretical rather than practical or had impenetrably academic language.
Oof, yeah, that's why so much of Jameson remains in my to-read pile after so many years. I like him but sometimes he's hard to want to read. Actually, wait, he does have one that's eminently readable and might be perfect for your paper - The Detections of Totality, on Raymond Chandler and applying class analysis to the detective novel. It changed the way I read crime fiction and it's easy to imagine the book making it onto a syllabus for a class on how to write it.
Good luck with the paper!
