Drawing on the work of scholars and practitioners such as Augusto
Boal, Gloria Anzaldua, and Trinh Minh-ha, these essays advocate
oral history and oral history-based performance as means to
challenge and expand upon traditional ways of transmitting
historical knowledge. The contributors' central concerns are
performative aspects of oral history itself and the theatrical or
classroom "re-performance" of oral history. The essays detail
classroom and public pedagogies, community-based interventions,
processes of developing interview-based performances, and the
ethical and political implications of oral history as an embodied
form of representation. The essays collected in this volume present
the most current scholarship straddling the rich intersection
between oral history and performance, and together suggest ways for
scholars and performers to use oral history to challenge more
traditional modes of knowledge.
