To tekst pochodzący z epoki wielkich debat nad statusem naukowym badań opartych na wątpliwym – zdaniem wielu historyków – materiale. Alessandro Portelli rozprawia się w tym opracowaniu z wątpliwościami i zarzutami stawianymi nie tylko wówczas, ale i dziś, wszędzie tam, gdzie pojawia się „widmo historii mówionej”. Ów swoisty manifest posiada ogromne walory edukacyjne, ponieważ porządkuje i wyjaśnia fundamentalne dla historii mówionej kwestie natury epistemologicznej i warsztatowej: wiarygodności źródeł mówionych, konsekwencji ich oralności i roli transkrypcji, czy wreszcie obiektywizmu przekazu.

Limited Scope

Laura Olson is one of a small but energetic and influential group of Christian political scientists determined to bring the debate politically legitimate called it either racist or sexist. Yet, somewhat surprisingly, African American pastors held the most consistently conservative views on family values, although they also saw the connections among crime, violence, and the deterioration of the family. Within the authorÕs intentionally limited scope, this is an excellent study, but one should be cautious about generalizing.
