Palgrave Studies in Oral History
Palgrave Macmillan is pleased to publish
the series, PALGRAVE STUDIES IN ORAL HISTORY. The editors
invite proposals for manuscripts that employ edited oral
history interviews to explore a wide variety of topics and
themes in all areas of history. While we expect interviews
to dominate the text, we seek work that places interviews
in broad historical context and engages issues of historical
memory and narrative construction. Fresh approaches to the
use and analysis of oral history, as well as to the organization
of text, are encouraged.We welcome work based on interviews
conducted within and outside the United States, as well
as cross-cultural and comparative work. Books in the series
are typically aimed at general readers, students, and scholars;
range from 200 to 250 pages in length; and may include photographs.
