Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To many Americans in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the West was simultaneously the greatest symbol of American opportunity, the greatest story of its history, and the imagined blank slate on which the country's future would be written. From the Spanish-American War in 1898 to the Great Depression's end, from the Mississippi to the Pacific, policymakers at various levels and large-scale corporate investors, along with those living in the West and its borderlands, struggled over who would define modernity, who would participate in the modern American West, and who would be excluded. In Making a Modern U.S. West Sarah Deutsch surveys the history of the U.S. West from 1898 to 1940. Centering what is often relegated to the margins in histories of the region--the flows of people, capital, and ideas across borders--Deutsch attends to the region's role in constructing U.S. racial formations and argues that the West as a region was as important as the South in constructing the United States as a "white man's country." While this racial formation was linked to claims of modernity and progress by powerful players, Deutsch shows that visions of what constituted modernity were deeply contested by others. This expansive volume presents the most thorough examination to date of the American West from the late 1890s to the eve of World War II.

Download or read book The American West in 2000 written by Richard W. Etulain and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ten original essays commissioned for this book focus on historical subjects in the post-World War II American West. The late Gerald Nash, in whose honor the essays were written, made major contributions to the study of modern American and western American history, and his impact on those fields is demonstrated in these essays by several generations of his students and colleagues. Emphasizing social and cultural developments, the essays draw on methodologies and topics from comparative history, environmental history, urban history, and political history. The authors write on subjects ranging from women's rights to urban sprawl, from organized religion to tourism, from mining to American Indian culture. An autobiographical essay by Nash himself situates his life's work in the context of two formative experiences: his intellectual development as a German refugee arriving in New York in the late 1930s and his commitment to the study of the American West when he began graduate school. The contributors include Margaret Connell-Szasz, Arthur R. Gómez, Donald J. Pisani, Marjorie Bell Chambers, Carol Lynn MacGregor, Christopher J. Huggard, Roger W. Lotchin, and Gene M. Gressley, as well as Nash and the volume editors.
Book Synopsis Writing the Modern American West by : Kenneth Millard
Download or read book Writing the Modern American West written by Kenneth Millard and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Where does a novel really begin? Does it start on the first page, or is there some earlier point of beginning in the story that is the true point of beginning? How far back in history might we go, looking for where stories begin? What is the real %��origin%ۥ of narrative? Writing the Modern American West provides substantial interpretations of a number of works of the American West that investigate the idea of the origin. The book advocates the value of its individual works as depictions of the modern West, and the importance of the concept of origins to interpretation more generally."

Book excerpt: "The West is America. When considered through time and space, the West embraces the entire North American continent and its history. Just as there is no one true West, there is no one kind of western art. Through the linked, sometimes overlapping, themes of people, places, and ideas, art of the West can be viewed in ways not bounded by traditional notions, offering myriad meanings as well as an exciting and rewarding new appreciation for America, Americans, and American art." "The Rockwell Museum in Corning, New York, was founded in 1976 to house and exhibit fine collections of western art, Carder glass, guns, and antique toys. In 2000, the Museum's Board of Trustees decided to reinvent the Museum, focusing and building on its collections of western and Native American art. In 2001, the Rockwell Museum reopened as the Rockwell Museum of Western Art. With this catalog, the Rockwell Museum of Western Art is pleased to present highlights of its splendid collection of western and Native American art -- truly, "the best of the West in the East." Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a crucial crossroads between Africa and Europe, the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, and the "Arab World" and the West, Morocco has long had a special place in U.S. diplomacy and strategic planning. Since September 11, 2001, Morocco's importance to the United States has only increased, and the more recent uncertainties of the Arab Spring and Islamist extremism have further increased the value of the Moroccan-American alliance. Yet one of the pillars of the legitimacy of the Moroccan monarchy, its claim to the Western Sahara, remains a point of violent contention. Home to the largest functional military barrier in the world, the Western Sahara has a long history of colonial conquest and resistance, guerrilla warfare and counterinsurgency, and evolving strategic thought, and its future may prove critical to U.S. interests in the region.
