Oral History and Photography
This essay collection explores the "photographic turn" in oral history. The authors present a dozen case studies from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Contributors ask how oral historians can best use photographs in their interviewing practice and how they can best understand photographs in their interpretation of oral histories.
In exploring the intersection of oral history and photography, they complicate and move beyond the use of photographs as social documents and memory triggers and demonstrate how photographs frame oral narratives and how stories unsettle the seeming fixity of photographs' meanings.
