General Note Donated by Maxine Sharkey, General Secretary, NSW Teachers Federation.
Summary Note 'Povo' is an "anthology devoted to empowering marginalised writers from low socio-economic status. Through stories that reflect their own experiences, these writers resist the White-dominated Australian literary community and the classism which plagues literature down to its flowery purple prose; the kind people associate with the idea of 'good writing'." - page 12..
"Further contributions include two collections of throw-ups we produced in partnership with Campbelltown City Council during workshops in Western Sydney high schools. The first collection is written by students of Leumeah High School. Labelled 'Essays', these pieces are overflowing with teenage rage, love and anxiety as they struggle to discover their identity, endure migration and find their place in the world. The second collection is from Macquarie Fields High School. Titled 'Gutter', these pieces remain untitled pieces remain untitled and anonymous due to the dangerous and illicit worlds that their all-too-young writers find themselves in. What's interesting here is that class is not only the subject of these stories, it's the style - each word loaded with the broad spectrum of socio-economic conditions throughout Western Sydney.
Subject Poverty -- Anthology -- Sydney (N.S.W.)
Refugees -- Anthology -- Sydney (N.S.W.)
Immigrants -- Anthology -- Sydney (N.S.W.)
Race discrimination -- Anthology -- Sydney (N.S.W.)
