Seller's Description:
Good in Fair jacket. xxxviii, 472, [2] pages. A Note on Method. Foreword by William E. Leuchtenburg. Illustration. Index. DJ worn, soiled, and edge tears, sticker residue and ink mark on front endpaper. A collection of interviews with 125 people who had just lived through the sixties and had seen moon walks, assassinations of great men, the upsurge of youth, and the outrage of blacks. This work was conceived by the author as his Senior Thesis at Princeton University. Mr. Joseph trekked fifteen thousand miles across America, seeking the people who shaped events in the Sixties and those who live their consequences. Upon graduation in 1972, he received the Woodrow Wilson Prize for 'a senior thesis of unusual merit." He went on to graduate school. Among the individuals who appear in the book are: McGeorge Bundy, Joseph Barbera, Tom Wolfe, Eugene O'Neill, Michael Harrington, Chubby Checker, Margaret Mead, Dean Rusk, Malcolm Forbes, Julian Bond, Wernher von Braun, Art Buchwald, Lester Maddox, Abigail van Buren, George Reedy, Benjamin Spock, Jerry Garcia, Charles "Pete" Conrad, George Meany, Saul Alinsky, Howard Cosell, Joseph Califano, Charles Schulz, Dustin Hoffman, Cyrus Vance, Glenn Seaborg, Allen Funt, Jesse Unruh, George Plimpton, Arnold Palmer, Michael DeBakey, Ken Kesey, David Brinkley, Barbara Walters, Clark Clifford, Jimmy Breslin and Tom Wicker. This is a significant, and arguably unique, compilation of voices and perspectives from the 1960's captured shortly after the conclusion of the decade. Oral history is the collection and study of historical information about individuals, families, important events, or everyday life using audiotapes, videotapes, or transcriptions of planned interviews. These interviews are conducted with people who participated in or observed past events and whose memories and perceptions of these are to be preserved as an aural record for future generations. Oral history strives to obtain information from different perspectives and most of these cannot be found in written sources. Oral history also refers to information gathered in this manner and to a written work based on such data, often preserved in archives and large libraries. Knowledge presented by Oral History is unique in that it shares the tacit perspective, thoughts, opinions and understanding of the interviewee in its primary form. The term is sometimes used in a more general sense to refer to any information about past events that witnesses told anybody else, but professional historians usually consider this to be oral tradition. However, as the Columbia Encyclopedia explains: Primitive societies have long relied on oral tradition to preserve a record of the past in the absence of written histories. In Western society, the use of oral material goes back to the early Greek historians Herodotus and Thucydides, both of whom made extensive use of oral reports from witnesses. The modern concept of oral history was developed in the 1940s by Allan Nevins and his associates at Columbia University.
