Oral history is already recognised as an important historical resource, and
this study looks at how oral histories are constructed and how they should
be interpreted. It also argues for a deeper understanding of their oral and
social characteristics. Oral accounts of past events are also guides to the
future, as well as being social activities in which tellers claim authority to
speak to particular audiences. Like written history and literature, orality
has its shaping genres and aesthetic conventions. It likewise has to be
interpreted through them.
The argument is illustrated through a wide range of examples of
memory, narration and oral tradition, including many from Europe and
the Americas, and with a recurrent focus on oral histories from the Jiao
Kru of Liberia, with whom Elizabeth Tonkin, an anthropologist, has
carried out extensive research. She also draws on and integrates the
insights of a range of other disciplines, such as literary criticism,
linguistics, history, psychology, and communication and cultural studies.
Her study points to the importance of crossing the disciplinary boun-
daries which close off oral productions as ‘literary’, ‘historical’, ‘tradi-
tional ’ or ‘popular’.
