Offering a new look at the complex work of the oral historian, "Oral History in Latin America" provides a comprehensive and innovative look at the field. Taking into account the challenges of doing oral history in Latin America's diverse climate, David Carey provides insight into the struggles of creating narrative from a variety of verbal sources. By providing a synthesis of the current work in the field and addressing the methodological and interpretive issues that arise in the context of Latin America's unique linguistic, cultural, political, and social milieu, this book serves as a guide for students and scholars interested in conducting research. With careful consideration of the challenges of working in Latin America, including those of language, performance, translation, the subtleties of interpreting shifting meanings, and remaining sensitive to the stories of marginalized populations, Carey provides insight into making one's Latin American oral history project successful.
