Take Me to Your River is a collective history and cultural mapping project of the four neighborhoods along the Glendale Narrows section of the Los Angeles River. As gentrification displaces neighbors, it also erases the complex histories and cultures of these varied communities. This book is a testament to the people who have called, and continue to call, these places home.
