Oral History as Resistance: A Conversation
Tuesday, March 15th 2005 7:00pm
Between the Lines invites you to meet Michael Riordon, author of
An Unauthorized Biography of the World: Oral History on the Front Lines.
An Unauthorized Biography of the World explores the practice of engaged oral history: the difficult, sometimes dangerous work of recovering fragments of human story that have gone missing from the official versions. Michael Riordon has thirty years' experience as a writer and broadcaster in the field. Readers will encounter a gallery of brave, passionate people who gather silenced voices and lost life stories. The canvas is broad, the stakes are high: the battles for First Nations lands in Canada; environmental justice in Chicago; genocide in Peru; homeless people organizing in Cleveland; September 11/01, and after, in New York City; gay survivors of electroshock in Britain; the struggle to preserve a people's identity in Newfoundland; peasant resistance to a huge transnational gold mine in Turkey.

Praise for An Unauthorized Biography of the World:
"This wonderful book was written by one who understands oral history from the inside and masterfully reveals its mission to articulate history's silences." --Mary Marshall Clarke, Director, Oral History Research Office, Columbia University, NY.
"Make no mistake, this fascinating book is no dry academic history. Michael Riordon's book represents oral history at its passionate best." --Steven High, Assistant Professor, Oral History, Nipissing University
"Michael Riordon does us all a great service by helping to amplify those so often silenced within this culture, and I thank him for this powerful contribution." --Derrick Jensen, writer, NY Times Magazine; author, A Language Older than Words.

RSVP • Iraq: Speaking of War
Saturday, March 19th 2005 8 pm
IRAQ: SPEAKING OF WAR: This ritual-theater event is presented on the eve of the second anniversary of the United States invasion of Iraq, to mourn all those who have died and been wounded in the conflict. Actors tell stories of individuals caught in the war, culled from a wide range of documentary sources, while the chorus names and laments the dead. Musical interludes provide space for reflection. This documentary-ritual reveals the human costs of the Iraq war and memorializes the loss of so many irreplaceable lives.
Even as the official death toll of Americans killed in combat continues to rise (currently over 1,350), there is no count of Iraqi civilian deaths. Estimates range from between 16,000 (Iraq Body Count) to over 100,000 (The Lancet). Many of those killed or maimed by bombs and shrapnel, at checkpoints, or in their homes, have been children. The stories of American soldiers, Iraqi civilians and combatants, journalists and aid workers, when told together, weave a tapestry of shared humanity.
New York actors George Bartenieff, Kathleen Chalfant, Eve Ensler, Najla Said, Maysoon Zayid, and others will participate. Music and drumming will be provided by: Gilberto Alvarez, Johnny Farraj, and Raqay and the Cavemen (Raquy Danziger , Liron Peled, Rami El-Aasser, Yotam Beery), Milos Raickovich, and others. Text and production by: Dalia Baisouney, Linda Hoaglund, Alicia House, Danielle Heureux, Amneh Taye, and Karen Malpede.
(An earlier version of this event was presented as Iraq: Naming the Dead, last August. See www.Iragnamingthedead.org )
