Description 1 online resource Series Oxford Oral History Series Oxford oral history series. Contents Oral history and Indigenous people -- The displacement of Indigenous oral history -- Rethinking the form of oral history -- The dynamics of Indigenous oral sources -- The politics of power in Indigenous oral history -- Indigenous oral history in method and practice -- Interweaving oral history theories with Indigenous practices -- The Indigenous truth of oral history Summary "Indigenous peoples have our own ways of defining oral history. For many, oral sources are shaped and disseminated in multiple forms that are more culturally textured than just standard interview recordings. For others, Indigenous oral histories are not merely fanciful or puerile myths or traditions, but are viable and valid historical accounts that are crucial to native identities and the relationships between individual and collective narratives. This book challenges popular definitions of oral history that have displaced and confined Indigenous oral accounts as merely oral tradition. It stands alongside other marginalized community voices that highlight the importance of feminist, Black, and gay oral history perspectives, and is the first text dedicated to a specific Indigenous articulation of the field. Drawing on a Maori Indigenous case study set in Aotearoa New Zealand, this book advocates a rethinking of the discipline, encouraging a broader conception of the way we do oral history, how we might define its form, and how its politics might move beyond a subsuming democratization to include nuanced decolonial possibilities."-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on April 27, 2021) Subject Oral history -- New Zealand -- Methodology Ngāti Porou (New Zealand people) Ngāti Porou (New Zealand people) -- History -- Sources Oral tradition -- New Zealand Ngāti Porou (New Zealand people) Oral history -- Methodology Oral tradition New Zealand Genre/Form Electronic books History Sources Form Electronic book ISBN 9780190681692 0190681691 9780190681708 0190681705 9780190681715 0190681713
