Abstract
Without Reserve is a set of profiles of nine Native people living in Edmonton, Alberta. Each person's story is told in a separate chapter, with brief anecdotes compiled in two additional chapters. Author Lynda Shorten was formerly a reporter with the Edmonton Journal, where she co-authored a series about urban Natives, the genesis of this broader work. Without Reserve is not an academic book, falling, as it does, into a genre of journalistic narratives about Native peoples, for which a significant public market exists, yet it will also attract a social science audience and will probably be assigned to students.
