The Oral History Reader is an international anthology of the key writings about the theory, method and use of oral history. Arranged in five thematic sections, the collection details issues in the theory and practice of oral history and covers key debates in the postwar development of oral history, including:
* issues around interviewing methods
* ethical debates and the politics of empowerment
* analytical strategies for interpreting memories
* concerns of archiving and public history
Each section contains an introduction which contextualizes the selection by reviewing key issues and relevant literature. Extensive cross-referencing and indexing provides an aid to research and a crucial comparative dimension.
This comprehensive volume illustrates similarities and differences in oral history from around the world, including examples from North and South America, Britain, Australasia, Europe and Africa. It also details the subjects - such as labour history, women's history, gay and lesbian history, ethnic history and disability history - to which oral history has made a significant contribution.
