Where Is the West?: The American West
ISBN-13: 9780815334569 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 268 str.
Essays in this volume deal with the question of the focus of historical inquiry. Prior generations of historians concentrated upon the so-called frontier process. On the frontier, white male Anglo-Saxon pioneers confronted savagery in an east to west progression of settlement on free land. The process produced American Democracy. The present generation of historians rejects many aspects of the Frontier Thesis and asks questions about people and places. The settlement process started in the West, not the East. The settlers were multi-racial and women were players in the process. This exciting, gendered, racially inclusive and multicultural analysis is the focus of most essays in this volume.
