About this ebook

The Handbook of Global Oral History inspires the reader to be more open in their conception of what oral history is and how it is applied within a variety of disciplines to unlock meaning in human experience. The book brings together scholars from around the world in the areas ranging from memory studies, Indigenous history and journalism to anthropology, trauma, and archival studies. Their essays provide fresh theoretical insights to the field of oral history, and broaden current notions of how oral history fieldwork can be applied and how archived interviews can be interpreted.
