Abstract Oral historians in the United States have adopted a problematic history of our field that erases the contributions of our radical forbearers. By fixating on recording technologies, archives, and academia, we ignore those who have shaped the theories and methodologies we draw upon when we facilitate dialogues grounded in personal experiences and interpretive reflections on the past. This article identifies the direct contributions that popular educators such as Myles Horton, Septima Clark, Ella Baker, and Paolo Freire played in shaping the field of oral history in the United States. Furthermore, it highlights the role that Staughton and Alice Lynd, Helen Lewis, the Massachusetts History Workshop, and the Brass Workers History Project played in translating these popular education practices into current oral history theories and methods.

艾伦·内文斯不是我的祖父：美国激进口述历史实践的根源

摘要 美国的口述历史学家采用了我们这个领域有问题的历史，抹去了我们激进的前辈的贡献。通过专注于记录技术、档案和学术界，当我们促进基于个人经历和对过去的解释性反思的对话时，我们忽略了那些塑造了我们所借鉴的理论和方法的人。本文确定了 Myles Horton、Septima Clark、Ella Baker 和 Paolo Freire 等流行教育家在塑造美国口述历史领域方面的直接贡献。此外，它还强调了 Staughton 和 Alice Lynd、Helen Lewis、马萨诸塞州历史研讨会和黄铜工人历史项目在将这些流行教育实践转化为当前的口述历史理论和方法方面所发挥的作用。
