How is an oral historian to react when the unexpected emerges,
whether in field research or interview analysis? Answers tend to be
scattered throughout the scholarly literature or confined to
backstage conversations. This book brings the unexpected to the
center of the scene and promotes a collective reflection about ways
of dealing with uneasy encounters, surprises, and interviews that
seem to have gone off the rails. The contributors come from a dozen
countries, especially Brazil, where a classic piece about a "great
liar" paved the way for this discussion. Rather than eccentric
descriptions of unusual situations, these chapters evoke a dense
web of reflections about dialogue, the production of oral sources,
and the complexities of personal narratives. Theoretically informed
but written in an engaging language, the book presents readers with
fascinating case studies of the eruptions of the unexpected that
occur in oral history research.
