Tony Parker byl ústní historik, který se věnoval dávání hlasu nejvíce marginalizovaným postavám britské a americké společnosti. Jeho práce se zaměřovala na jedinečné perspektivy jednotlivců, jako jsou svobodné matky, strážci majáků a dokonce i odsouzení zločinci, včetně vražd. Parker se hluboce zajímal o zkušenosti vězňů, zejména po jejich propuštění, a snažil se zachytit jejich příběhy a boj s různými aspekty života. Jeho oddanost objevování a sdílení těchto často přehlížených životních příběhů ho odlišila jako významného kronikáře lidské zkušenosti.
