Handbook of Oral History - Paperback

by Mary Chamberlain (Contribution by), Pamela Dean (Contribution by), James E. Fogerty (Contribution by)

Originally intending to produce the first comprehensive scholarly reference guide to the antecedents, practices, and theory of oral history, the editors have gone even further, creating a highly readable and useful tool for scholars, students, and the general public. Covering the vast scope of this increasingly popular field, the eminent contributors discuss almost every aspect of a field that once was the province of historians but now has become increasingly democratized and available across numerous disciplines.
