Heart of the Rock: The Indian Invasion of Alcatraz
srfbluemama avatar reviewed on + 80 more book reviews


This book is a really interesting memoir of the Indian occupation of Alcatraz from 1969-1971. It goes beyond just a telling of the occupation, but also explores the economic and social realities that American Indians faced in American cities during that time. A fascinating look at the more recent history of American Indian life.
