Kritik
"Lydia R. Cooper's Masculinities in Literature of the American West draws from contemporary scholarship in masculinity studies and Western American literary studies to convincingly argue that 'cowboy masculinity' in contemporary literature cannot be reduced to one, simple meaning or identity. Instead, Cooper demonstrates through lucid close readings that contemporary Westerns grapple with, reject, and offer alternatives to hegemonic manhood and the imperialist violence that underwrote the formation of the normative genre Western. This book offers an exciting account of how we can think about the Western today." - Daniel Worden, Associate Professor of English at the University of New Mexico, USA and author of Masculine Style: The American West and Literary Modernismmehr
