Battle of Valle Giulia: Oral History and the Art of Dialogue - Softcover

"Brilliant, thought-provoking, highly original."--Ronald J. Grele, author of "Envelopes of Sound" "Superb. These are wholly sophisticated essays, engaging the deepest questions from a position of full familiarity with the current theoretical literature. And yet they are marvelously accessible and readable, because of Portelli's clear, personally grounded, humane, candid, and limitlessly curious intelligence."--Michael Frisch, author of "A Shared Authority"

This text, which takes it's title from a student protest of the 1960s in which the author took part, reflects on how to connect personal memories with history and how to fittingly collect and represent the complexity of memory.
