| Abstract: | This article presents an educational rationale for using oral history to teach students that there are multiple sources of knowledge and ways to seek valid information. A case study to explore the funds of knowledge within an extended Puerto Rican family is used illustratively. The study describes the leadership role played by one grandmother as the family participated in multiple migrations, describes creative ways employed by her and other women to reestablish the community, and challenges some stereotypes of Latinas. |
