Folklorists bring, to projects like this one, important skills and perspectives, such as our ability to ask an open-ended question and then sit back and listen, letting the narrator guide the path of her narrative; our valuing of individual voices that teach us something about the individual and the collective; and our desire to give voice to those who have been silenced by more powerful forces. The strength of this volume lies in Rosenberg's demonstration of these skills and perspectives....Although Rosenberg's intended audience is not folklorists-it is those who are experiencing abuse-folklorists need to pay attention to work such as this, particularly in the context of our ongoing discussions about the role that we can play in public policy arenas, from the global to the grassroots. -- Ann Ferrell, Ohio State University
