The twentieth century saw increasing numbers of Native Americans making their homes in cities, yet until recently few historians had investigated this migration or the dynamics of urban Indian communities. Within the past five years, there has been the publication of one broad survey on urban Indians, while a handful of completed or in-progress doctoral dissertations have addressed different aspects of urban Indian experiences. James B. LaGrand's Indian Metropolis contributes to this emerging trend in historical literature by offering an in-depth study of Native Americans in Chicago. In its conceptualization and execution, Indian Metropolis represents the most complex and sophisticated work published thus far on this major aspect of contemporary Native America. |
