| Abstract |
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 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. --from publisher description |
