Synopsis

Second Edition: The Western genre has long been associated with conservative and libertarian ideologies, and is often said to promote individualism and free-market economics. In this new look at the Western, however, Ryan McMaken shows that the Western is in fact often anti-capitalist, and in many ways, the genre attacks the Victorian, bourgeois ideals of nineteenth-century middle-class America.

This revised, second edition features corrections and substantially expanded footnotes.
