Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book deconstructs the idea that the 'Wild West' existed as a static historical epoch, and instead interprets it as a dynamic and contested idea that has shifted throughout American history. The author asserts that since the infamous Jacksonian era, the 'Wild West' has been percei…ved as a distant, unblemished and uncivilized region, and consequently the 'Wild West' has served as a potent symbol for numerous political and social agendas, as different groups have fought to define what the region represented. This book argues that the 'Wild West' is an artifice, and that its perceived reality has served the aims of various power structures, particularly in the twentieth century, as it has been deployed to advance particular political, economic, and social goals. The author presents a multifaceted analysis of the 'Wild West', encompassing historical research, cultural studies, and critical theory, and argues that the 'Wild West', as an idea, has had a profound impact on the American imagination, distorting national policy on everything from resource management to the role of the federal government, particularly in western states. The author concludes by underscoring how the concept of the 'Wild West' continues to shape public discourse, including popular culture, about the American West and its peoples.
