GO TO OUR LATEST NEWS TAB AND SEE OUR NEW BOOK PROJECT BASED ON OUR INTERVIEWS WITH IRAQI REFUGEES IN CALIFORNIA
David Harris, writer and journalist is writing a book proposal based on our stories. We are raising funds for this project now, and hope you will contribute to this timely project.
This oral history archive is focused on what happened to Iraqi refugees as a consequence of the 2003 U.S, invasion in Iraq. Videos and digital recordings are available on our website and the Berkeley Library Catalog.
We are collecting the stories of displaced Iraqi refugees through interviews. Our CRO workers visit Iraqis in their homes http://pocketoption.in about their experiences before and after the 2003 invasion of Iraq up to the present. From these interviews, we produce podcasts, films, and transcribed testimonials to be made available for broadcast on our website. Transcribed versions will be made available to high schools and collegiate social studies programs and ultimately, these resources will comprise an Oral History Archive to be stored in an institution for future reference and historical documentation.
These stories, which would otherwise remain obscured and untold, provide access to the deep human experience of Iraqis driven from their homes and country.
Please take a moment to listen to some of the stories we have collected from our interviews.
We welcome any Iraqis who would like to tell their stories to contact us at info@citizensreachout.org.
