Resumo“Embedded Lives: The House of Fiction, the House of History” tells how a historical event became narrated through different media and disciplinary discourses by a number of participants, through many years and in different spaces. It takes the 1977 eviction of a group of elderly Filipinos from the International Hotel in San Francisco, and the protests against that eviction, as a starting point of a series of imbricated stories that lead up to today. It argues for the importance of collective voice. (DP-L)
