Riassunto

<p>Oral history is a universal form of storytelling. For many years Voice of Witness, cofounded by Dave Eggers, has shared powerful stories of people impacted by in- justice with a broad audience of readers.</p><p><em>Say it Forward </em>is an extension of this work: a guide for social justice storytelling that outlines Voice of Witness’ critical methodolog y at the core of their evocative oral history collections. Expert editors and authors candidly outline how to harness the power of the personal narrative to expose larger issues of inequality.</p><p>An essential resource for empathetic oral historians, this guide addresses a lot of the ideas that many people aren’t sure how to talk about, such as: How do I interview people who belong to a very different community than the one I’m from? How can power dynamics impact a narrator’s comfort? How do I deal with secondary trauma when listening to difficult stories? <em>Say It Forward </em>will support readers with everything from the initial planning phases to the deeper, more essential questions that examine the ethics of the practice.</p><p><strong>Cliff Mayotte </strong>is the Education Program Director with Voice of Witness. He previously edited <em>The Power of the Story: The Voice of Witness Teachers Guide to Oral History </em>published in 2013 by Voice of Witness and McSweeney’s.</p><p><strong>Claire Kiefer </strong>is the author of Bear Witness, forthcoming from Big Pencil Press in Fall 2018. She is a Voice of Witness Curriculum Specialist.</p>
