London Voices, London Lives
By: Hall, Peter
Published by: The Policy Press
London Voices, London Lives addresses a question of great current importance for urban policy: what kind of a place is London in the early 21st century, and how does it differ significantly - economically, socially, culturally, in quality of life - from other parts of urban Britain? It addresses these questions in a unique way: over one hundred ordinary Londoners, interviewed in their homes in eight areas across London and the surrounding region, provide their own answers in their own voices.

Long Time, Olden Time: Aboriginal Accounts of Northern Territory History
By: Read, Peter (ed.); Read, Jay (ed.)
Published by: IAD Press
The year is 1977, and Dinny Japaljarri remembers a time when the Northern Territory was a very different place. Twenty five years on, many of the events in this book now survive only in the memories of a generation that has passed, or is passing, away. Their stories, however, live on — told here in the vibrant tradition of Aboriginal oral history, from the transcripts and recordings that form the basis for this fascinating and important document. From first contact with Macassans then Europeans, through two World Wars and beyond, Peter and Jay Read’s collection of stories stands as a unique record of Aboriginal accounts of the conflict and co-existence that have defined the flavour of the Territory.

Mules and Men
By: Hurston, Zora Neale
Published by: Harper Collins
Mules and Men is a treasury of black America's folklore as collected by a famous storyteller and anthropologist who grew up hearing the songs and sermons, sayings and tall tales that have formed an oral history of the South since the time of slavery. Returning to her hometown of Eatonville, Florida, to gather material, Zora Neale Hurston recalls "a hilarious night with a pinch of everything social mixed with the storytelling." Set intimately within the social context of black life, the stories, "big old lies," songs, Vodou customs, and superstitions recorded in these pages capture the imagination and bring back to life the humor and wisdom that is the unique heritage of African Americans.
