FILLS A GAP IN THE FIELD: There are no comparable works that are exclusively readers with oral histories and none that sample such a wide variety of people, topics, and archives. ACCESSIBLE TO STUDENTS: Divided into five chronological sections with multiple chapters, the book encourages students to relate the personal to the universal through a skillful weaving of narrative into broader historical context. INTER-DISCIPLINARY POTENTIAL: Even though the book is aimed at students in U.S. History survey courses, it has potential to be adopted in other disciplines such as Women’s Studies, Ethnic Studies, and Oral History courses. WEALTH OF PRIMARY SOURCES: The length of the oral history excerpts are long enough to really give students a sense of the historical context out of which these voices emerged (and continue to emerge). WELL-CONNECTED AUTHORS: Both Armitage and Mercier are well established in the world of Oral History. Both have taught at the college level and are connected with organizations such as History Matters, which had a user-friendly Web-based curriculum
