After a century of reinvention and reinterpretation, Western movies
continue to contribute to the cultural understanding of the United
States. Western archetypes remain important emblems of the American
experience, relating a complex and coded narrative about heroism
and morality, masculinity and femininity, westward expansion and
technological progress, and assimilation and settlement. In this
collection of new essays, 21 contributors from around the globe
examine the "cowboy cool" iconography of film and television
Westerns-from bounty hunters in buckskin jackets to the seedy
saloons and lonely deserts.
