This introduction to the history of the American West seeks to move beyond the polarised
views of Frederick Jackson Turner s OLd West (the Frontier, civilisation and savagery, national
progress, gunfights, glory and individual fortitude) and Patricia Nelson Limerick and Richard
White s New West (the conquest of peoples and landscapes, and genocide).
Through a series of thematic chapters it explores the truths, fallacies and contradictions
tied up in these historical traditions and offers a new, more balanced approach to viewing
the Western past. Readers will acquire an understanding of the key themes and debates in
Western history as well as an awareness of competing academic discourses. Tapping into
popular fascination with the Cowboy, Hollywood movies, the Indian Wars, and Custer s Last
Stand, the authors show the student how to deconstruct the imagery and reality surrounding
Western history.
The main focus is on social and environmental history, though political, economic and
religious factors are also introduced as appropriate. The authors take an interdisciplinary
approach, employing film, literature and art as well as historical artefacts to present a
colourful depiction of life in the West.
Key Features
■
A general, lively and provocative introduction to the history of the American West
