An Unauthorized Biography of the World" explores the practice of engaged oral history: the difficult, sometimes dangerous work of recovering fragments of human story that have gone missing from the official versions.
Michael Riordon has thirty years' experience as a writer and broadcaster in the field. Readers will encounter a gallery of brave, passionate people who gather silenced voices and lost life stories. The canvas is broad, the stakes are high: the battles for First Nations lands in Canada, environmental justice in Chicago, genocide in Peru, homeless people organizing in Cleveland, September 11/01, and after, in New York City, gay survivors of electroshock in Britain, the struggle to preserve a people's identity in Newfoundland, peasant resistance to a huge transnational gold mine in Turkey.
