| Popis: | This chapter considers alternative histories of urban settlement through the intersection between family and neighbourhood. It proposes a form of co-production that connects specific small-scale communities not to meta-histories, but to documents that have a specific meaning within their own notions of narrative. The ‘stuff’ of such histories, because they are as much about the private, intimate, and familiar, is about stuff in the home — much of it undiscovered, perhaps only half-realised by families. Many historians have seen this as the ephemera of marginal oral histories. In extension of arguments about the role of oral history made elsewhere, this chapter argues that the connection between the intimate, which includes the material memorabilia and personal documents in homes, and the public community, helps us to explore the ways in which ideas of postcolonial citizenship are related to the idea of the home. |
