Ethnic Elders CollectionPhysical DetailNumber of items in the collection: 19 items
Venues where material can be listened to: Record Office Media available on: CD. Collection HistoryThe Ethnic Elders collection contains 19 interviews undertaken by the
Ethnicity Research Centre (University of Leicester, Sociology Department)
in 1999, as the first of a number of research projects on the life histories
and oral testimony of Ethnic Elders. The interviews are drawn from a range
of Asian communities in Leicester. The Ethnic Elders project was funded
by "Ethnic Elders 2000".
What the Collection ContainsThe interviews are conducted in the elder's first language and comprise
of lengthy but informal conversations focusing on childhood, early years,
migration and settlement in Leicester. The Elder's also reflect on and
interpret the memories and events of their lives. The interviews are intended
to capture something of the experiences of a generation of people who
made the often difficult transition to a life in Britain from the Indian
sub-continent and East Africa. Edited testimonies are available at www.le.ac.uk/sociology/ethnic/research/life.html.
Fully translated transcripts of the interviews are available.
