Silence and Speaking in the IOHA -- “Please Tell Us Your Life Story…”. A Confusion of Roles or, How It Is When Experienced Interviewers Are Interviewed -- Epilogue -- Thanks -- Appendix -- Short Biographies of the Protagonists and Selected Publications -- The Authors -- Index
Summary: Due to its internationality and interdisciplinarity, the International Oral History Association (IOHA), which was founded in the late 1970's, is one-of-a-kind in the academic landscape. Driven by the desire to democratize historical scholarship, its members wanted to "give a voice" to groups such as women, workers, migrants, or victims of political dictatorships who had not been heard up to that point. The contributions deal with the academic approaches and the political convictions of the previous generation.
