Like It Was: A Complete Guide to Writing Oral History is a very practical how-to guide written by Cynthia Brown, who won the American Book Award for her work in oral History. Like It Was gives clear, helpful advice on every step of the oral history process: using the tape recorder; conducting the interview; transcribing the interview; editing the manuscript; writing short pieces; writing full biographies; writing from multiple narratives; and presenting the results. Like It Was also includes an invaluable "How to Do Oral History in Classrooms" section and an annotated bibliography. Like It Was brings personal involvement to the study of history and provides a solid structure for the practice of writing. -- Midwest Book Review
A concise and practical guide. Based on her experiences in putting together Septima Clark's Ready from Within: Septima Clark and the Civil Rights Movement ( Wild Trees Pr., 1986. pap.), Brown tells us who to interview, what questions to ask and how to ask them, how to transcribe from tape recording to paper, and what and how to write from the transcript. This book is a unique source of ideas for oral history as a part of the high school curriculum. Numerous samples and an excellent annotated bibliography of fiction and nonfiction resources round out this easy-to-read guide.
