In "Other People's Stories, " Amy Shuman examines the social
relations embedded in stories and the complex ethical and social
tensions that surround their telling. Drawing on innovative
research and contemporary theory, she describes what happens when
one person's story becomes another person's source of inspiration,
or when entitlement and empathy collide. The resulting analyses are
wonderfully diverse, integrating narrative studies,
sociolinguistics, communications, folklore, and ethnographic
studies to examine the everyday, conversational stories told by
cultural groups including Latinas, Jews, African Americans,
Italians, and Puerto Ricans. Shuman offers a nuanced and clear
theoretical perspective derived from the Frankfurt school, life
history research, disability research, feminist studies, trauma
studies, and cultural studies. Without compromising complexity, she
makes narrative inquiry accessible to a broad population.
