Reviews

Contemporary Cowboys offers a rich portrait of a shape-shifting American archetype in the twenty-first century. These scholars approach the frontier and the cowboy in many mediums and from a diverse array of disciplinary perspectives. Far from dying out, the Western rides on in new and surprising forms. -- Josh Garrett-Davis, Autry Museum of the American West and author of What Is a Western? Region, Genre, Imagination
