“Llewellyn and Ng-A-Fook’s edited collection is an examination of the ways oral history education can serve a wider social purpose by which authority and knowledge can be shared through multiple participants. … consider the role of oral history as a vital research tool and source for scholars, teachers, and students alike.” (Funké Aladejebi, Historical Studies in Education, Vol. 31 (1), 2019)
