Summary
Paul Thompson: The Voice of the Past
The Voice of the Past is a classic work of British historiographical literature. Both a theoretical work and a practical guide, The Voice of the Past is an engaging book. Thompson does not hide the passion with which he dedicated himself to shaping oral history as a discipline against what he considered the limiting rules of traditional academic historiography. His rich and dedicated experience should serve as the best guarantor of the possibilities offered by oral history.
The first book that combines oral history theory and technical processes. It is a map that shows where oral history is in the mosaic of Western historiography.
