An invaluable contribution to ethnic American history.

Missing Stories: An Oral History Of Ethnic And Minority Groups In Utah is a unique compendium exploring the rich history of Utah's ethnic and minority groups including Utes, African-Americans, Jews, Chinese, Italians, Japanese, Greeks, and Hispanics. In a preface to each section of oral history interviews, a respected historian of the community introduces the background and heritage of the community, setting the context for the personal recollections that follow. The informative, engaging, at times fascinating text is nicely illustrated with the photography of Kent Miles and George Janecek. Missing Stories is a remarkable, compelling, and invaluable contribution to American ethnic history in general, and the Utah ethnic communities in particular.
