Welcome to Books of the Month, where once a month, L&S staff select works from our Bookshelf of UC Davis authors. Our November 2024 selections are in honor of National Native American Heritage Month.
Explore narratives from local historic protest movements to the unearthing of previously lost traditions. Take some time this month to read one of our selections and hopefully learn something new!
