Download or read book Rethinking Oral History and Tradition written by Nepia Mahuika and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For many indigenous peoples, oral history is a living intergenerational phenomenon that is crucial to the transmission of our languages, cultural knowledge, politics, and identities. Indigenous oral histories are not merely traditions, myths, chants or superstitions, but are valid historical accounts passed on vocally in various forms, forums, and practices. Rethinking Oral History and Tradition: An Indigenous Perspective provides a specific native and tribal account of the meaning, form, politics and practice of oral history. It is a rethinking and critique of the popular and powerful ideas that now populate and define the fields of oral history and tradition, which have in the process displaced indigenous perspectives. This book, drawing on indigenous voices, explores the overlaps and differences between the studies of oral history and oral tradition, and urges scholars in both disciplines to revisit the way their fields think about orality, oral history methods, transmission, narrative, power, ethics, oral history theories and politics. Indigenous knowledge and experience holds important contributions that have the potential to expand and develop robust academic thinking in the study of both oral history and tradition.--

Download or read book Rethinking Oral History and Tradition written by Nepia Mahuika and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-09 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous peoples have our own ways of defining oral history. For many, oral sources are shaped and disseminated in multiple forms that are more culturally textured than just standard interview recordings. For others, indigenous oral histories are not merely fanciful or puerile myths or traditions, but are viable and valid historical accounts that are crucial to native identities and the relationships between individual and collective narratives. This book challenges popular definitions of oral history that have displaced and confined indigenous oral accounts as merely oral tradition. It stands alongside other marginalized community voices that highlight the importance of feminist, Black, and gay oral history perspectives, and is the first text dedicated to a specific indigenous articulation of the field. Drawing on a Maori indigenous case study set in Aotearoa New Zealand, this book advocates a rethinking of the discipline, encouraging a broader conception of the way we do oral history, how we might define its form, and how its politics might move beyond a subsuming democratization to include nuanced decolonial possibilities.

The importance of this history to New Zealand cannot be overstated. Māori leaders emphatically endorsed the book, as have reviewers and younger commentators. They speak of the way Tangata Whenua draws together different strands of knowledge – from historical research through archaeology and science to oral tradition. They remark on the contribution this book makes to evolving knowledge, describing it as ‘a canvas to paint the future on’. And many comment on the contribution it makes to the growth of understanding between the people of this country.
Book Synopsis Ngā Mōrehu: The Survivors (2nd Edition) by : Judith Binney
Download or read book Ngā Mōrehu: The Survivors (2nd Edition) written by Judith Binney and published by Bridget Williams Books. This book was released on 2013-06-11 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For much of women's history, memory is the only way of discovering the past. Other sources simply do not exist. This is true for any history of Maori women in this century. All the women in this book have lived through times of acute social disturbance. Their voices must be heard. Judith Binney, 1992. In eight remarkable oral histories, NGA MOREHU brings alive the experience of Maori women from in the mid-twentieth century. Heni Brown Reremoana Koopu, Maaka Jones, Hei Ariki Algie, Heni Sunderland, Miria Rua, Putiputi Onekawa and Te Akakura Rua talked with Judith Binney and Gillian Chaplin, sharing stories and memoires. These are the women whose 'voices must be heard'. The title, 'the survivors', refects the women's connection with the visionary leader Te Kooti Arikirangi Te Turuki and his followers, who adopted the name 'Nga Morehu' during the wars of the 1860s. But these women are not only survivors: they are also the chosen ones, the leaders of their society. They speak here of richly diverse lives - of arranged marriages and whangai adoption traditions, of working in both Maori and Pakeha communities. They pay testimony to their strong sense of a shared identity created by religious and community teachings.

Book excerpt: Contemporary theories about oral history as well as practical strategies for conducting oral history research are included in this collection of essays. General issues that arise during oral history research are covered in detail, including navigating confidentiality issues, transcribing from oral interviews to written form, and handling unique situations for populations such as indigenous peoples whose history may not have been recorded previously. Particular case studies highlight the rewards and challenges of documenting oral histories and offer insight into the kinds of marginalized experiences that can find voice through this research: productions of an amateur dramatic society, stories from a victim of child abuse, and the life stories of two lesbians.
Book Synopsis Panguru and the City: Kāinga Tahi, Kāinga Rua by : Melissa Matutina Williams
Download or read book Panguru and the City: Kāinga Tahi, Kāinga Rua written by Melissa Matutina Williams and published by Bridget Williams Books. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Travelling from Hokianga to Auckland in the middle decades of the twentieth century, the people of Panguru established themselves in the workplaces, suburbs, churches and schools of the city. Melissa Matutina Williams writes from the heart of these communities. The daughter of a Panguru family growing up in Auckland, she writes a perceptive account of urban migration through the stories of the Panguru migrants. Through these vibrant oral narratives, the history of Māori migration is relocated to the tribal and whānau context in which it occurred. For the people of Panguru, migration was seldom viewed as a one-way journey of new beginnings; it was experienced as a lifelong process of developing a ‘coexistent home-place’ for themselves and future generations. Dreams of a brighter future drew on the cultural foundations of a tribal homeland and past. Panguru and the City: Kāinga Tahi, Kāinga Rua traces their negotiations with people and places, from Auckland’s inner-city boarding houses, places of worship and dance halls to workplaces and Maori Affairs’ homes in the suburbs. It is a history that will resonate with Māori from all tribal areas who shared in the quiet task of working against state policies of assimilation, the economic challenges of the 1970s and neoliberal policies of the 1980s in order to develop dynamic Māori community sites and networks which often remained invisible in the cities of Aotearoa New Zealand.
Book Synopsis Oral History and Public Memories by : Paula Hamilton
Download or read book Oral History and Public Memories written by Paula Hamilton and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2009-08-21 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oral history is inherently about memory, and when oral history interviews are used "in public," they invariably both reflect and shape public memories of the past. Oral History and Public Memories is the only book that explores this relationship, in fourteen case studies of oral history's use in a variety of venues and media around the world. Readers will learn, for example, of oral history based efforts to reclaim community memory in post-apartheid Cape Town, South Africa; of the role of personal testimony in changing public understanding of Japanese American history in the American West; of oral history's value in mapping heritage sites important to Australia's Aboriginal population; and of the way an oral history project with homeless people in Cleveland, Ohio became a tool for popular education. Taken together, these original essays link the well established practice of oral history to the burgeoning field of memory studies.

Book excerpt: This thesis questions the accuracy of current understandings about the nature of pre-contact Maori oral tradition. In the main, it finds that this is not the case hence two further questions are asked: why this is so and how can we better understand the traditions? Part One argues that the way we understand the nature of pre-contact Maori oral tradition does not always reflect the way it was for several reasons. The transition from orality to literacy and from memory to publication caused some change producing new traditions in a legitimate process whereby oral tradition, like all systems of knowledge, changed and adapted to new circumstances. Other processes stemming from misinterpretation, deliberate invention or poor research were less legitimate. These legitimate and illegitimate changes to oral tradition are problematic when published accounts deliberately or inadvertently present unauthentic new oral traditions as authentic pre-contact oral traditions when patently they are not. The distinction between precontact and post-contact is important because it is an axiom in scholarship, for several reasons, to determine the nature of pre-contact oral tradition. Unauthentic published traditions have regularly become widely accepted and deeply entrenched within academic and Maori communities. When this occurs they constitute 'false orthodoxies'. The problem is more widespread than is generally appreciated. Some well known false orthodoxies persist in belief, having become entrenched over time in one form or other despite some competent deconstructions. Others are yet to be deconstructed. And, contrary to the prevailing and counter-opposed beliefs that European writers were solely responsible for distorting Maori oral tradition or that the traditions are unreliable anyway, both Maori and European researchers, scribes, informants and writers have knowingly and unknowingly contributed to the distortion of oral tradition in complex relationships underwritten by a European monopoly over publication. Many of the false orthodoxies are therefore 'hybrids' born from the interactions between Pakeha and Maori. Part Two: Reconstruction Theory explores theoretical and empirical means by which a more accurate understanding of pre-contact oral tradition might be gained. The first chapter develops a structural model of Maori oral tradition based on the proposition that all oral tradition is characterised by a range of historical and symbolic dynamics extended along a continuum between the present and past. Other chapters explore how existing theoretical approaches can be best applied, how new ones can be developed, and what the pitfalls are. There is also an examination of sources of Maori oral tradition and Maori oral texts. Parts Three and Four apply these principles to analyse tribal and waka traditions.
