The American West. Visions and Revisions

Focusing on five key themes, this study explores the evolution of the 'New Western History' over the past twenty-five years, challenging the traditional Turner thesis. It delves into critical issues such as land use, environmental impact, race, ethnicity, gender, and the growth of communities, synthesizing extensive research to provide a comprehensive overview of American history. The work also includes a complete bibliography, making it a valuable resource for understanding contemporary scholarship in this field.
