Authors:Nasstrom K. Abstract: Volume 45.1 begins with a special section, “Decentering and Decolonizing Feminist Oral Histories: Reflections on the State of the Field in the Early Twenty-First Century,” guest edited by Katrina Srigley and Stacey Zembrzycki. Their introduction outlines the contours of recent feminist oral history practice, one deeply influenced by anticolonial thinkers, but also owing much to feminist oral historians who have been theorizing since the 1970s about what it means to center women’s stories. The four articles in the special section operate along the lines of in-depth case studies, as Katrina Srigley and Lorraine Sutherland, Iona Radu, Margaretta Jolly (with Li Huibo and Ding Zhangang), and Jennifer Brier describe and analyze in careful detail the innovative projects in which they have aimed not only to listen to “women’s words” but also to allow those words to challenge many facets of our practice.

Authors:Srigley K; Sutherland L. Pages: 7 - 28 Abstract: AbstractCentering Anishinaabeg and Ininiw ways of learning from, understanding, and sharing history, this article explores the oral history journeys of Lorraine Sutherland and Katrina Srigley on Nbisiing Anishinaabeg and Mushkegowuk territory in Ontario, Canada. The authors argue for the importance of a decolonized approach to feminist oral history, an approach which centers the histories of women and other marginalized voices in ways that acknowledge and mobilize Indigenous ways of understanding, documenting, and sharing stories of the past. The authors build this argument through stories, in the Anishinaabeg and Ininiw way; they offer a framework for drawing meaningfully on Anishinaabeg, Ininiw, and Western forms of feminist oral history.

Authors:Radu I. Pages: 29 - 47 Abstract: AbstractThis article is about Indigenous oral histories and Indigenous feminisms as understood by a settler. It builds from critiques that urge gender and women’s studies to break out of the focus on parity and consider intersecting issues of settler colonialism and the decolonizing work necessary for achieving autonomy locally. I draw from my research collaboration with the Cree Nation of Chisasibi that traces the community’s process of developing a culturally safe model of care to explore epistemological and methodological practices codeveloped with my research partners. I then explore the ways in which these practices can inform the field of feminist oral history by insisting on foregrounding place-based culturally informed priorities.

Authors:Jolly M; Huibo L. Pages: 48 - 67 Abstract: AbstractThis article compares the China Women’s Oral History Project, directed by librarians at the China Women’s University in Beijing, and Sisterhood and After: The Women’s Liberation Oral History Project, directed by scholars at the University of Sussex in the UK. While the projects share aspects of method, our practices wrestle with distinct historiographical structures which are entwined with a history of state feminism in China and with dissenting, nongovernmental networks in the UK, as well as differing institutional contexts. As we have sought to develop a relationship as feminist oral historians, we have had to decenter our own frameworks to understand the local conditions under which we each work. The article concludes by analyzing what we share: the wish to find progressive spaces within universities and national funding structures, particularly as oral history work connects with community activists.

Authors:Brier J. Pages: 68 - 83 Abstract: AbstractThis article recounts the creation of an oral and public history project, “I’m Still Surviving,” which seeks to document, write, and display a women’s history of HIV/AIDS in the United States. Using feminist oral history and decolonial methods for both the collection and interpretation of oral history narratives, the project grounds and amplifies self-determination by women living with HIV/AIDS as it decenters the notions that academic historians are the experts on the history of the epidemic. The goal of the project is to collaborate with women living with HIV/AIDS so that together we can produce a decolonized public history of women’s experiences of surviving HIV/AIDS.

Authors:Riseman N. Pages: 84 - 100 Abstract: AbstractSince 2009 I have been part of three projects examining the history of service in the Australian military of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, as well as people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI). The oral histories of these current and ex-service personnel contain tales that include family violence (both as perpetrators and survivors), war trauma, alcoholism, and sexual assault. There are also many silences, particularly among Vietnam veterans, when discussing misbehavior on rest-and-convalescence leave in the Vietnamese coastal town of Vung Tau. In this article, I explore some of the ways that I have navigated the ethical dilemmas of writing these histories, referring in particular to how the concepts of ethnographic refusal and reticence have influenced my practice. I argue that interviewers need to be cautious when confronting participants’ reticence to engage with particular lines of questioning. Researchers must consider the wider social, political, and personal implications of their research for their narrators and decide whether ethnographic refusal—avoiding the subject matter to protect the interviewees—is an appropriate strategy.

Authors:Nugent C. Pages: 101 - 126 Abstract: AbstractThe present moment in Germany is marked by efforts to reckon with the Nazi past on both public and private levels. The research presented here, based on interviews with twenty-nine non-Jewish German women, focuses on mother-daughter transmission of memory about life in the Third Reich. It reveals that in this cohort a fruitful confrontation with their family’s role in Hitler’s Germany between mothers and daughters is the exception rather than the norm. The article details the various reasons why most members of the daughter cohort did not take their mothers seriously enough as agents of their own destiny to engage them in difficult conversations about their lives under National Socialism.

Authors:Cheng N. Pages: 127 - 142 Abstract: AbstractThere is a burgeoning discussion in oral history about the nature of embodiment in the oral history interview and how we might include considerations of this embodiment in the process and products of oral history. This article suggests ways in which interviewers can “embody” the interview transcript with evocative written description; it uses transcribed excerpts and audio clips of an interview conducted by the author to illustrate both what to include in an embodied transcript, and what to keep in mind when undertaking the tricky business of translating the multidimensional interview encounter to the two-dimensional page.Note on Multimedia ContentThe online version of this article, doi:10.1093/ohr/ohx071, includes audio and video clips that allow readers to see or listen to excerpts of recorded interviews.
