What is the significance of primary sources in the construction
of historical narratives? Considering the Zinn readings and the
two films in particular (one of which would be classified as
using oral history and the other a recapturing of marginalized
historical figures' tales through primary sources), what do
primary sources add to these stories? What do they do that is
different or distinct from a secondary source like a history
textbook? (For example, how would
Unchained Memories
differ if they were just telling you about slave life vs. doing so
in the words of people who lived as slaves?)
