Reviews

  • This handbook brings together some of the ablest oral historians to offer thoughtful, thorough, and timely assessments of their field. It belongs on the shelf of anyone seriously interested in the theory and practice of oral history.

    Donald A. Ritchie, associate historian, U.S. Senate Historical Office; author of Doing Oral History

  • This handbook is an inspired combination of the practical and the theoretical. An essential companion for anyone interested in the multifarious, cross-disciplinary research movement that has come to be known as 'oral history.'

    Jacquelyn Hall, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
