Opis

In this unusual and important new work, Miroslav Vanek interviews twelve experts on oral history to discuss the medium's current status within the social sciences in light of recent technology breakthroughs. "Around the Globe "addresses many of the challenges of oral history, from its inherent subjectivity to whether it should be treated as a discipline or simply a method for research. The interviewees also include their own accounts of how they began to study oral history, giving each section of the book a personal element that makes it a unique handbook for anyone using oral history in their research.
