This collection explores the intersections of oral history and
environmental history. Oral history offers environmental historians the
opportunity to understand the ways people's perceptions, experiences and
beliefs about environments change over time. In turn, the insights of
environmental history challenge oral historians to think more critically
about the ways an active, more-than-human world shapes experiences and
people. The integration of these approaches enables us to more fully and
critically understand the ways cultural and individual memory and
experience shapes human interactions with the more-than-human world,
just as it enables us to identify the ways human memory, identity and
experience is moulded by the landscapes and environments in which people
live and labour. It includes contributions from Australia, India, the
UK, Canada and the USA.
