About this book
Reviews
"The variety of provocative approaches, new critical inquiries, and challenges to comfortable but worn ways of thinking embodied in this collection returns to us a variety of American Wests that have much to tell us about our multiple pasts and our various futures." - Great Plains Quarterly
"These essays expand one s understanding of western terrain through multiple axes: geographical, political, historical, and cultural. The contributing scholars challenge the received knowledge of the West, offering valuable revisions to concepts like transnationalism, the working class, popular culture, and the canon. This collection does not simply crisscross borders: it engages them, wrestles with them, redefines them, even defies them. Dyck and Reutter offer up a new literary atlas of the West and in doing so redraw the map of western American studies." - Susan Naramore Maher, Peter Kiewit Distinguished Professor of English, University of Nebraska at Omaha, Past President, Western Literature Association
"Wide-ranging in many ways, this exciting volume itself crosses borders to gather scholars from various disciplines and locations to explore the works of a selection of important, diverse writers . . .A most valuable volume!" - Emory Elliott, Distinguished Professor, University of California, Riverside
"This valuable collection occupies an important area of regionalist studies, with strong essays on ethnicity and class. The worldliness of the volume's contributors and the range of voices are noteworthy." - Guy Reynolds, Professor of English, University of Nebraska-Lincoln and General Editor of the Willa Cather Scholarly Edition
