Table of ContentsReviews'The greatest strengths of the individual papers are the depth of their methodological insights and the quality of their research. The authors construct and present their methods with intellectual rigour and honesty...Unlike most edited volumes, in this case not only the editors, but also the authors have reflected on each others' work, which enhances the persuasiveness of the book. In short, Testimonies of the City is a welcome addition that speaks not only to urban historians, but to scholars across the humanities and social sciences who are concerned with historiography and methodology.' H-Net Reviews '... offers insights into places and moments of history that are often fascinating and surprising. As such, it shall be stimulating for readers and scholars which various research interests within, but also outside, urban studies.' Urban Geography Research Group 'Overall there is much to recommend this book, which covers the themes of social identity, community, urban change and migration, and employs oral history methods to analyse the interaction of urban space with collective memory and identity.' Oral History 'Despite the apparent diversity of issues, the book remains focused. Moreover, it covers some topics that are not too often examined in academic environmental philosophy. The treatment of issues is stimulating, as it combines profitably personal experiences and perceptions with sharp analysis.' Eras Journal 'Rodger and Herbert make a valuable contribution to the history of cities...'
