Descrição
Resumo:The aim of the paper is to present reflections on the possibilities of the oral history sources in historical researches. To accomplish this task, we have taken as example our own research, entitled “History of the black movement in Brazil: organization of a collection of oral history interviews”, developed between 2003 and 2007 at the Center for Brazilian Contemporary History Research and Documentation (CPDOC) at Getúlio Vargas Foundation, in Rio de Janeiro. Among other subjects, we discuss the relations between oral history and politic history, the intersection between oral and written sources and the possibilities of knowledge enrichment provided by oral history.
