Title

"I Learned Things Today That I Never Knew Before": Oral History at the Kitchen Table

Description

Historiographical essay on the dearth and fragmentation of source material relevant to working class Franco Americans - especially Franco American women. Considers the published reality that is "la survivance" in relation to the lived realities of working-class Americans in the twentieth century. Arguing that oral history is unique in its ability to stand for identities that have been largely overlooked, the author conducts interviews with second-generation Franco American women in order, as she says, "to recover a history that conventional sources find difficult to access."
