Keywords:

Committed literature, as a powerful instrument for promoting social justice and freedom, has played an unparalleled role in the history of industrial and class-based societies. This form of literature aims to critique and analyze unjust social, economic, and political conditions, contributing to public awareness and stimulating social activism. This study examines the role of committed literature—particularly labor literature—in advancing the ideals of social justice and freedom. Through an analytical review of the works of prominent authors such as Maxim Gorky, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Simin Daneshvar, and Gholam-Hossein Sa’edi, the article investigates the impact of committed literature on social awakening and the promotion of positive transformations. Specifically, this research focuses on the role of language and distinctive literary forms in analyzing class contradictions, exploitation, and class struggles, and endeavors to demonstrate how such works have sought social change and the realization of justice and freedom for the marginalized classes across various societies.
