This book considers if and how oral history is ‘best practice’ for education. International scholars, practitioners, and teachers consider conceptual approaches, methodological limitations, and pedagogical possibilities of oral history education. These experts ask if and how oral history enables students to democratize history; provides students with a lens for understanding nation-states’ development; and supports historical thinking skills in the classrooms. This book provides the first comprehensive assessment of oral history education – inclusive of oral tradition, digital storytelling, family histories, and testimony – within the context of 21st century schooling. By addressing the significance of oral history for education, this book seeks to expand education’s capacity for teaching and learning about the past.
Globalization tends to promote global homogenization of cultures, but its integration processes and interaction systems are hampered by unequal participation, governed by the ethos of capitalism. This ethos promotes instead individual interests against societal interests. As the danger of individualism increasingly constitutes a fundamental community burden, it significantly compromises the nation-state, threatening the social formation and relational outcomes. Therefore, socially integrated societies with collective initiatives, managed by interventionist public institutions with regulative mechanisms and good governance, have more potential for equitable development and economic growth. This book examines the impact of globalization and social inequality through an analysis of the impact on society in Nigeria. (Series: Sociology / Soziologie - Vol. 80)

Regungslos stand er, beide Hände um die Krücke seines Wanderstocks gefaltet, und blickte ins Rheingau. Die Nachmittagssonne lag breit über dem Strom, blitzte und funkelte rheinauf und rheinab und warf dem stillen Beschauer eine Flut von Licht in die Augen. Doch die hellen Augen in dem dunkelgebrannten Gesicht schienen an schärfere Sonne gewöhnt zu sein als die Maiensonne des Rheingaus. Nur die Brauen rückten ein wenig näher zusammen, als ob sie den gesammelten Blick schirmen und eine Störung ablehnen müßten. Mit bloßem Kopfe stand er und trank das blühende Land zu seinen Füßen in sich ein. Die weiche Frühlingsluft strich durch sein braunes Haar, den kurzen braunen Bart.
