AML 2710 - American West

Institution:

St. Francis College

Subject:

Description:

The American West has fostered some of our most important and lasting national myths of success, progress, and conquest. This course looks at European-American ideas about nature and civilization, gender and race, and violence and individualism within the context of these mythic narratives. We also investigate more contemporary narratives which offer a corrective in their commitment to representing the diversity of the West. We look at novels, stories, films, and other cultural artifacts as we investigate how this space has and continues to shape our understanding of the unique promises of American life.
