Community History Project. Urban Voices: The Bay Area American Indian Community. Tucson: Univ. of Arizona Press, 2002. 180 pp. Illus. with photos. Forewords by Wilma Mankiller and Simon J. Ortiz. ISBN 0-8165-1316-3, $21.95 (pb).

"Lovingly put together by the Editorial Committee of the Community History Project, Urban Voices is more than a history or anthology. It is a 'family album' of photos, told stories and reminiscences, drawings, poems, letters, essays, posters, newspaper clippings, and songs. Both the history project and the book it birthed are unique in breadth and scope.

"Urban Voices is a living thing, an honoring for everyone who dropped in to IFH for Wednesday night dinner and never left."

Urban Voices Makes a Great Contribution

"Congratulations to Susan Lobo and the extended group of editors and contributors who created this important work. They have provided a useful approach that enriches the Indian experience and provides that most necessary quality of overcoming longing and despair with that 'network of relatedness' that creates community and hope."

—Jose Barreiro
