Book Review

Indian Metropolis: Native Americans in Chicago, 1945–75. By James B. LaGrand. (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 2002. xiv, 284 pp. $34.95, ISBN 0-252-02772-8.)

Anthropologists, sociologists, and other social scientists have long dominated the study of Native Americans in cities. James B. LaGrand's excellent study of Chicago's modern Indian population is a groundbreaking book that firmly places urban Indians both within the vast historical literature dealing with ethnicity in Chicago and within the framework of the historical studies of the 1960s era of protests. LaGrand makes the argument in Indian Metropolis that urban Indians deserve a full history of their lives in American cities. The author shows the complexity of Indian life in an urban environment and sketches relations not only with the federal government but also with whites, African Americans, and non-urban Indians. Indian Metropolis paints a complex picture portraying the development of an urban Indian community that often transcended the traditional boundaries of tribe and geography.
