Oral history is increasingly acknowledged as a key tool for anyone
studying the history of the recent past, and Oral History Theory
provides a comprehensive, systematic and accessible overview of
this important field. Combining the study of theories drawn from
disciplines ranging from linguistics to psychoanalysis with the
observations of practitioners and including extensive examples of
oral history practice from around the world, this book constitutes
the first integrated discussion of oral history theory. Structured
around key themes such as the peculiarities of oral history, the
study of the self, subjectivity and intersubjectivity, memory,
narrative, performance, power and trauma, each chapter provides a
clear and user-friendly explanation of the various theoretical
approaches, illustrating these with examples from the rich field of
published oral history and making suggestions for the practicing
oral historian. This second edition includes a new chapter on
trauma and ethics, a preface discussing new developments in the
field and updated glossary and further reading sections.
Supplemented by a new companion website
(www.routledge.com/cw/abrams) containing a comprehensive range of
case studies, audio material and further resources, this book will
be invaluable to experienced and novice oral historians,
professionals, and students who are new to the discipline.
