Rejecting the 'great-divide' theory of orality and literacy as separate and opposite to one another, the contributors posit that whatever meanings the two concepts have are products of their ever-changing relationships to one another.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThrough topics as diverse as Aboriginal Canadian societies, Ukrainian-Canadian narratives, and communities in ancient Greece, Medieval Europe, and twentieth-century Asia, these cross-disciplinary essays reveal the powerful ways in which cultural assumptions, such as those about truth, disclosure, performance, privacy, and ethics, can affect a society's uses of and approaches to both the written and the oral. The fresh perspectives in \u003cem\u003eOrality and Literacy\u003c\/em\u003e reinvigorate the subject, illuminating complex interrelationships rather than relying on universal generalizations about how literacy and orality function.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments \u003cbr\u003eMap of Selected Place Names \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Reading and Listening at Batoche \u003cbr\u003eKeith Thor Carlson, Kristina Fagan, and Natalia Khanenko-Friesen\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart One: Questioning Truths \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
