These Are Our Stories: Women's Stories of Abuse and Survival
Editat de Jan Rosenbergen Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 mar 2007
The eleven survivors are lower to middle class women of various ethnic orientations, and range in age from their late twenties to mid-sixties. The survivors' stories are clarified with the use of diagrams from The Domestic Abuse Intervention Project (DAIP), and examined as the women re-build their lives hours and days at a time. These Are Our Stories provides two resource guides following the women's interviews. The first guide is adapted for use in north Florida to assist an abused woman in identifying her situation using these eleven women's stories as a thread. The second resource is a brief bibliography of literature and resources for domestic violence victims that can be used throughout the U.S.

Recenzii
Folklorists bring, to projects like this one, important skills and perspectives, such as the ability to ask an open-ended question and then sit back and listen... The strength of this volume lies in Rosenberg's demonstration of these skills and perspectives. A detailed resource guide for women experiencing abuse and a bibliography for further reading are appended to the volume....
Folklorists bring, to projects like this one, important skills and perspectives, such as our ability to ask an open-ended question and then sit back and listen, letting the narrator guide the path of her narrative; our valuing of individual voices that teach us something about the individual and the collective; and our desire to give voice to those who have been silenced by more powerful forces. The strength of this volume lies in Rosenberg's demonstration of these skills and perspectives....Although Rosenberg's intended audience is not folklorists-it is those who are experiencing abuse-folklorists need to pay attention to work such as this, particularly in the context of our ongoing discussions about the role that we can play in public policy arenas, from the global to the grassroots.
