Produktbeschreibung

This collection presents diverse scholarly approaches to oral narratives in the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking worlds. Eleven essays, originally written in Spanish, Portuguese, and English, coalesce around major themes that have long concerned oral historians and social scientists: collective memories of conflictive national pasts, subjectivity in re/framing social identities, and visual and performative re/presentations of identity and public memory.

Rezensionen

"The topics treated throughout the volume are laudably diverse and very timely, sometimes offering innovative approaches to the material ... . The volume could be valuable for researchers working with oral testimony about precarious and illegalized working conditions in Spain and other contexts of migration, and to early career researchers interested in learning about oral history in Spanish and Portuguese-speaking countries." (Hendrikje Grunow, Oral History Forum d'histoire orale, Vol. 37, 2017)
