"McGee is an astute observer of United States culture who offers trenchant discussion of the Western genre. He chooses his films strategically and reveals their textual strategies and historical meanings." Stan Corkin, University of Cincinnati
Offering sensitive readings that extend and deepen our understanding of the American West - from Shane, Stagecoach, and The Searchers to Heaven's Gate, Unforgiven, and Kill Bill - this book discusses the Western in new and insightful ways. McGee appreciates the limits of this film genre, but also articulates its positive political value as an expression of social desires typically unspoken in American public discourse. Informative and compelling, this book suggests new understandings of this much-discussed genre.
