Oral History In Latin America: Unlocking The Spoken Archive

This field guide to oral history in Latin America addresses methodological, ethical, and interpretive issues arising from the region?s unique milieu. With careful consideration of the challenges of working in Latin America ? including those of language, culture, performance, translation, and political instability ? David Carey Jr. provides guidance for those conducting oral history research in the postcolonial world. In regions such as Latin America, where nations that have been subjected to violent colonial and neocolonial forces continue to strive for just and peaceful societies, decolonizing research and analysis is imperative. Carey deploys case studies and examples in ways that will resonate with anyone who is interested in oral history.
