The Arkansas Delta Oral History Project: Culture, Place, and Authenticity

Natalie E. Taylor New Mexico State University

Abstract

O ne of the first things readers will notice when reading The Arkansas Delta Oral History Project: Culture, Place, and Authenticity is that most of it is written in the past tense. Launched in the spring of 2007, the five-year-long Arkansas Delta Oral History Project (ADOHP), a community literacy partnership between the University of Arkansas and rural community high schools in the Arkansas Delta, is now complete. Jolliffe et al. 's volume serves as both critical reflection of the ADOHP and jumping off point for a new community literacy project called the Students Involved in Sustaining Their Arkansas (SISTA), which began in fall 2015. Even though the ADOHP is now over, readers will be interested in the way this particular university-community partnership took shape, what flaws the authors see in the original iteration of the project, and what enduring legacy exists because of the ADOHP's strengths.
