The Routledge Guide to Interviewing: Oral History, Social Enquiry and Investigation A. Bryson & S. McConvill

“a book full of interesting and useful insights, distilling decades of experience on the part of two well-known practitioners…The authors are sensitive and critically reflective on issues such as sharing authority, the contested nature of personal interpretations, memory and the use of software packages to facilitate text analysis…I suspect it will be well-thumbed by practitioners and will undoubtedly contribute to raising standards of interviewing, both within community-based and academic oral history.”
