"An Unauthorized Biography of the World" explores the practice of
engaged oral history: the difficult, sometimes dangerous work of
recovering fragments of human story that have gone missing from the
official versions.
Michael Riordon has thirty years' experience as a writer and
broadcaster in the field. Readers will encounter a gallery of
brave, passionate people who gather silenced voices and lost life
stories. The canvas is broad, the stakes are high: the battles for
First Nations lands in Canada; environmental justice in Chicago;
genocide in Peru; homeless people organizing in Cleveland;
September 11/01, and after, in New York City; gay survivors of
electroshock in Britain; the struggle to preserve a people's
identity in Newfoundland; peasant resistance to a huge
transnational gold mine in Turkey.
