Using narratives is a fledging paradigm shift in the way in which social science is presented to the public.  Anthropological and  historical inquiry requires a cohesive collaboration that integrates oral histories, historical traditions, folklore, ethnographic data, written records, and archaeological literature. As folklorist, Henry Glassie, declared: “The way to study people is not from the top down or the bottom up, but from the inside out, from the place where people are articulate to the place where they are not, from the place where they are in control of their destinies to the place where they are not.”
