Description and Table of Contents
Description
This volume explores the mixture of conscious models, myths, and material inheritance which are intertwined in both family and individual life stories. This second volume in the series, "International Yearbook of Oral History and Life Stories", aims to increase understanding of the recent past and the changing present through autobiographical testimony, in the form of written autobiography, oral history and life story interviews. Each issue will form a coherent volume focusing on a single theme, and will be interdisciplinary in scope. Like its predecessor, "Memory and Totalitarianism", this book concerns the powerful memories which affect almost all families throughout the world. What is it that parents pass down to their children? How can we understand the mixture of conscious models, myths and material inheritance which are intertwined in both family and individual life stories? The editors bring together contributions from the Americas and Asia, as well as from Western and Eastern Europe.
Their approach combines the techniques of life story research with the insights of family therapy in a book of interest not only to historians and social scientists, but also to professionals working with families.
