Drawing on the work of scholars and practitioners such as Augusto Boal, Gloria Anzaldua, and Trinh Minh-ha, these essays advocate oral history and oral history-based performance as means to challenge and expand upon traditional ways of transmitting historical knowledge. The contributors' central concerns are performative aspects of oral history itself and the theatrical or classroom "re-performance" of oral history. The essays detail classroom and public pedagogies, community-based interventions, processes of developing interview-based performances, and the ethical and political implications of oral history as an embodied form of representation. The essays collected in this volume present the most current scholarship straddling the rich intersection between oral history and performance, and together suggest ways for scholars and performers to use oral history to challenge more traditional modes of knowledge.

Charlotte's Tree is a multi-generational saga based on true characters in LaFlorya Gauthier's family history. There are three books: the first chronicles the life and times of Charlotte, LaFlorya's great-great grandmother who was raised by her free midwife Aunt Iona, and relates her epic struggles from 1827 to 1902. The first book opens in Crystal Springs, Mississippi in the year 1827, on the day that an orphaned seven-year old Charlotte accompanies her Aunt Iona on a double mission: to bring Lucie Mae's baby into the world and to "do" for Miz Blaylock, wife of Doctor Blaylock who is Aunt Iona's sponsor and benefactor. As the drama unfolds, Charlotte experiences vicissitudes of life in a small Mississippi town where slave owners and slave "poachers" are as menacingly unpredictable as the poverty of its black families is pervasive. Even the "papers" carefully wrapped in oiled parchment and carried as proof of status--freedom or "owned"--are not protection enough from abductions, murder, rape and mutilation. As Charlotte matures and emerges as the most capable midwife in the area, she marries a preacher and raises children of her own. But life in the backwaters of central Mississippi is changed forever by the events of the civil War and its aftermath. In the final scene of book one, an aging Charlotte and her young grandson are driving a battered buckboard back to Charlotte's old home where she plans to spend her final days.

Faulks's first novel since the extraordinary success of Birdsong is written with the same passion, power and breadth of vision. Set in England and France during the darkest days of World War II, Charlotte Gray, like Birdsong, depicts a complex love affair that is both shaped and thwarted by war. It is 1942. London is blacked out, but France is under a greater darkness, as the occupying Nazi forces encroach ever closer in a tense waiting game. Charlotte Gray, a volatile but determined young woman, travels south from Edinburgh. Working in London, she has a brief but intense love affair with an RAF pilot. When his plane is lost over France, she contrives to go there herself to work in the Resistance and to search for him--but then is unwilling to leave as she finds that the struggle for the country's fate is intimately linked to her own battle to take control of her life. Faulks's novel is an examination of lost paradises, politics without belief, the limits of memory, the redemptive power of art and the existence of hope beyond reason. It is also a brilliant evocation of life in Occupied France and, more significantly, a revelation of the appalling price many Frenchmen paid to survive in unoccupied, so-called Free France. As the men, women and children of Charlotte's small town prepare to meet their terrible destiny, the truth of what took place in wartime France is finally exposed. When private lives and public events fatally collide, the roots of the characters' lives are torn up and exposed. These harrowing scenes are presented with the passion and narrative force that readers will recall from Birdsong. Charlotte Gray will attract even more readers to Faulks's remarkable fiction.

It's another beautiful day at Cloudberry Inn for the Roberts sisters, unless you're Vera. Will she ever be able to let go of the mistakes from her past to embrace a new future? Maybe if Drew North has a hand in it... Vera Roberts knew she didn’t have it all. In fact, she was quite certain that she had the exact opposite of having it all and was left wondering if her turn would ever come. She’d spent her life living out everyone else’s dreams and was running on fumes while attempting to keep the Cloudberry Inn afloat. She felt life passing her by as her other sisters seemed so certain about their roles in the world. When Vera’s sister Samantha finally reappears at Cloudberry Inn with her own dreams seemingly fulfilled, it makes Vera begin to wonder what could have been if Vera was the one who’d left the Inn and Samantha stayed. It didn’t help that Vera’s childhood love suddenly reappeared in her life. Well, not him exactly—but his family. It was all she could do to forget that Drew North existed in the first place and now his family was busy renting out Cloudberry Inn for wedding engagements and festivities that reminded her she was alone, and he was nowhere to be found. When tragedy strikes, Vera realizes the only way to realize her own dreams is to be brave, but she knows her family needs her now more than ever, and she’s always done what’s right. Even if that means giving up on her own dreams, whatever they might have been. Drew North never understood his brothers’ fascination with happily-ever-after. He knew it wasn’t for him. He had plenty to keep him busy running the Silver Ridge Resort. Everything was fine. He was fine. Until he saw her. Vera Roberts. The girl he’d had a crush on. The girl who broke his heart and shaped the rest of his world when it came to love or the lack thereof. He was totally over her. So, why did he have second thoughts about ignoring her message?
