"Oral history changes lives. It changes the lives of the narrators, the listeners, the editors and the readers. And for students of any age, there is no more impactful and even life-changing project they can undertake. Claire Keifer and Cliff Mayotte have made a profoundly clear, fluid and accessible guide to doing your own oral histories, and teachers, students and parents: I beg you to try it." -- Dave Eggers "Stories are humankind's connective tissue, and Say it Forward reminds us the process through which we document a story is as important and powerful as the story itself. This book--a collection of oral historians' own stories and perspectives--is at once a how-to guide, a call to action and a thoughtful, loving usher through oral history's framework, ethics, methodology, and highest ideals. Say it Forward is a vital guide from a vital organization, and it couldn't come at a more critical time. More stories, please, and more justice--and more stories justly told." −Lauren Markham, author of The Far Away Brothers: Two Young Migrants and the Making of an American Life "Say It Forward provides not only a practical blueprint for storytelling methodology and approach, it does something more meaningful--it contextualizes and validates the purpose and multilayered nuances of capturing deeply personal accounts. The storyteller becomes the teacher in his/her own unfiltered testimony. Say It Forward is an equally useful tool for new oral history practitioners and as a refresher for those seeking to capture and honor an individual's voice and recollections. No small feat, done thoughtfully in this resource publication." --Linda Sotelo, New Americans Museum "Say It Forward is a useful guide for anyone new to recording the oral histories of vulnerable populations. Voice of Witness makes plain how to work with sensitivity, respect, and care." --Danielle Jackson, cofounder, Bronx Documentary Center, "Stories are humankind's connective tissue, and Say It Forward reminds us the process through which we document a story is as important and powerful as the story itself." --Lauren Markham, author of The Far Away Brothers: Two Young Migrants and the Making of an American Life "Say It Forward provides not only a practical blueprint for storytelling methodology and approach, it does something more meaningful--it contextualizes and validates the purpose and multilayered nuances of capturing deeply personal accounts." --Linda Sotelo, New Americans Museum "Oral history changes lives. Claire Kiefer and Cliff Mayotte have made a profoundly clear, fluid, and accessible guide to doing your own oral histories, and teachers, students, and parents: I beg you to try it." --Dave Eggers, Voice of Witness cofounder and author, The Monk of Mokha and What Is the What "Say It Forward is a useful guide for anyone new to recording the oral histories of vulnerable populations. Voice of Witness makes plain how to work with sensitivity, respect, and care." --Danielle Jackson, cofounder, Bronx Documentary Center, Praise for other Voice of Witness books: "Surviving Justice is a necessary truth telling that amplifies the voices of the countless wrongfully incarcerated sons, lovers, husbands, fathers, mothers, and daughters who languish in America's prisons. These oral histories give insight into the nature of the injustice to which they have been subjected, but also offer a way forward. I never could have written An American Marriage without the brave and thoughtful testimonies in this book." --Tayari Jones, author of An American Marriage and winner of the Hurston-Wright Legacy Award

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages. I’ll definitely make another purchase soon! Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!
