| Description | The book sets out to preserve the memory of school and teachers in former Czechoslovakia before 1989 through interviews its authors made within research “Everyday life of basic schools in the Normalisation period through the eyes of teachers. Using oral history in studying contemporary education history”. One important part of the book is the history background containing a brief outline of history of socialist education. The book also contains a methodological chapter, describing especially the way oral history can be used in history-pedagogy research including the strengths and weaknesses of the method. The core of the book consists of edited interviews with teacher witnesses. The book also reprints some historical sources, firstly, to supplement memories by the witnesses, and secondly, to show what sources a historian can work with. Many of the sources included in the book are being published for the very first time. |
