This book brings the panorama and perspectives of oral history, drawn by specialists from different countries. The texts discuss various possibilities of using oral history: as a research tool, as a mechanism for organization and social mobilization and as an agent for the construction of identities. It also deals with crucial issues for the understanding of the 20th century, such as the effects of the Second World War and the Cold War and the so-called 'deindustrialization' of the end of the century. The book thus allows to follow the debate around new problems and old questions, fundamental to the development of studies and projects in oral history, in different areas of knowledge.
