This article highlights the benefits that rigorous use of oral history can offer to research on the contemporary business history of emerging markets. Oral history can help fill some of the major information voids arising from the absence of a strong tradition of creating and making accessible corporate archives in most countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. It also permits a level of nuance that is hard to obtain even if written archives are accessible. Oral histories provide insights into why events did not occur, and why companies have chosen certain industries over others. Oral history can also shed light on hyper-sensitive topics, such corruption, which are rarely formally documented.

The recent history of the Brighton reservation is contained in the settlement patterns of the camps established by the various groups moving onto lands of a hostile government. Collective memory is transferred through oral histories, but the patterns that emerge can be viewed through a broad temporal lens to reveal the sociocultural motivations of the broader population. The location of camps near the periphery of the reservation in the early years speaks to the mistrust of the families concerned about the ease of escape should they find themselves in peril from the U.S. government. Two decades later the clustering of camps near schools, roads, and trading stores demonstrates a transition and connectedness to the non-Seminole world. These years were certainly formative in the history of the Tribe. GIS is the tool the THPO uses to draw together oral history and archaeological information in the telling of these important stories.

The chapter traces the WLM’s compelling, contested and elusive political genealogies, recalling their socialist, radical, black, liberal, national or revisionist versions and fierce debates over strategy, tactics, structure, leadership and resources. It deploys feminist oral histories to re-tell movement ‘origin stories’ (women-led activism within the Hull fishing community and at Ford’s, Dagenham) but principally to parallel the first WLM conference at Ruskin College, Oxford (1970) with the inaugural meeting of the Organisation for Women of African and Asian Descent in Brixton, London (1979). The chapter recounts the ‘feminist composure’ required in remembering, and considers oral history’s significance as a medium of memories, subjectivities and feelings. It looks at how these approaches to movement history highlight the challenges of managing relationships and differences, and the thorny question of feminist identity. It ends with Beatrix Campbell’s oral history recollections of co-authoring Sweet Freedom, the first full-length history of the UK WLM. 149 words
