Consciousness and political involvement are the concerns of essays by Lu Ann Jones, Alessandro Portelli, Michelle Palmer et al.

As with the earlier issues of the Jourbanal, this volume will be essential reading for scholars and researchers involved with oral history methodology and with working class and ethnic history.
