The frontier reality of confronting new conditions, adapting
cultural inclinations, and dealing with a volatile environment in
an effort to establish and nurture new communities is central to
the western Canadian experience. It has shaped many aspects of our
heritage, and it is within that context the essays assembled here
strive to identify and critique the impact of the frontier on our
region, culture, and society. Challenging Frontiers is a
multidisciplinary study using critical essays as well as creative
writing to explore the conceptions of the "West," both past and
present. Considering topics such as ranching, immigration, art and
architecture, as well as globalization and the spread of
technology, these articles inform the reader of the historical
frontier and its mythology, while also challenging and reassessing
conventional analysis. With a comprehensive introduction to situate
the geographic and cultural boundaries of the western frontier,
this collection is a must for anyone interested in uncovering what
it means to be a westerner and how the new frontier has influenced
every part of our society.
