Oral history interviews of the South Asian Oral History Project by
South Asian Oral History Project(
)
in English and held by 1 WorldCat member library worldwide
The South Asian Oral History Project is a collection of interviews with 28 South Asian immigrants to the United States who settled in the Pacific Northwest and represent three distinct waves of migration. The first phase of the project collected oral histories of immigrants from India and Pakistan who arrived in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s; interviews were conducted by Julie Kerssen between 2004-2005. Under the direction of Deepa Banerjee, who joined the UW Libraries in 2005, an advisory committee selected potential interviewees for the second and third phases of the project. The second phase focused on narrators who arrived between 1965-1979 and included immigrants from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. The third phase documented more recently arrived immigrants, who came to the United States between 1980 and the end of the 1990s. This phase extended coverage to narrators coming from Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan. Interviews from both the second and third phases of the project were conducted by Amy Bhatt between 2007-2008. Among the narrators included in the project to date are: Pramila Jayapal, Raj Joshi, Bharti Kirchner, Prem Kumar, Alok Mathur, Jamal Rahman, Najma Rizvi, and Balraj Sokkappa. The collection contains recordings of the interviews (audio and/or video), as well as final and unedited versions of the transcipts. Also included are two sets of photographs of some interviewees; one taken around the time of immigration, when available, and one taken at the time of the interview. Access is provided to the use copies of the recordings and most of the final transcripts. Much of this same material is being digitized and will be made available through the UW Libraries Digital Collections site
