School Library Journal, Series Made Simple

“[E]ach title sensitively and honestly lays out the history, background, and recent events in its respective movement. Recommended.”—School Library Journal, Series Made Simple

Booklist

“As it discusses the movement’s key concerns, including education and land issues, the book also introduces its leaders and historic protests, such as the occupation of Alcatraz Island from 1969 to 1971.”—Booklist
