In 1893, Frederick Jackson Turner published his revolutionary
essay, "The Significance of the Frontier in American History". A
century later, many of the country's most innovative scholars of
Western history assembled at a conference at Utah State University
under the direction of historian Clyde A. Milner II. Here they
delivered papers meant to map the exciting new territory opened in
recent years in the history of the West. Gathering the best of
these essays, this collection aims to produce a compelling
assessment of the newest Western historiography. The timely,
vigorous entries go beyond conventional narratives of westward
expansion, and make clear the stimulating uses of scholarship
informed by recent critical and multicultural theory. Contributors
include William Deverell on the significance of the West in
American history; David Gutierrez on Mexican Americans and cultural
identity; Susan Rhoades Neel on nature and the environment; Gail M.
Nomura on Asia and Asian Americans; Anne F. Hyde on cultural
perceptions; David Rich Lewis on twentieth-century Native
Americans; Susan Lee Johnson on men, women, and gender; and
Quintard Taylor on the history of African Americans in the West.
Each essay is accompanied by commentaries written by other top
scholars in the field, and the eminent historian Allan G. Bogue
supplies a lucid introduction.
