Despite a long and rich tradition of oral history research, few are
aware of the innovative and groundbreaking work of oral historians
in Canada. For this first primer on the practices within the
discipline, the editors of The Canadian Oral History Reader have
gathered some of the best contributions from a diverse field.
Essays survey and explore fundamental and often thorny aspects in
oral history methodology, interpretation, preservation and
presentation, and advocacy. In plain language, they explain how to
conduct research with indigenous communities, navigate difficult
relationships with informants, and negotiate issues of copyright,
slander, and libel. The authors ask how people's memories and
stories can be used as historical evidence - and whether it is
ethical to use them at all. Their detailed and compelling case
studies draw readers into the thrills and predicaments of recording
people's most intimate experiences, and refashioning them in
transcripts and academic analyses. They also consider how to best
present and preserve this invaluable archive of Canadian memories.
The Canadian Oral History Reader provides a rich resource for
community and university researchers, undergraduate and graduate
students, and independent scholars and documentarians, and serves
as a springboard and reference point for global discussions about
Canadian contributions to the international practice of oral
history. Contributors include Brian Calliou (independent scholar),
Elise Chenier (Simon Fraser University), Julie Cruikshank
(University of British Columbia), Alexander Freund (University of
Winnipeg), Steven High (Concordia University), Nancy Janovicek
(University of Calgary), Jill Jarvis-Tonus (independent scholar),
Kristina R. Llewellyn (Renison University College, University of
Waterloo), Bronwen Low (McGill University), Claudia Malacrida
(University of Lethbridge), Joy Parr (Western University), Joan
Sangster (Trent University), Emmanuelle Sonntag (Universite du
Quebec a Montreal), Pamela Sugiman (Ryerson University), Winona
Wheeler (University of Saskatchewan), and Stacey Zembrzycki
(Concordia University).
