“…Th ese Texan sites of cultural signifi cance remove their frontier stories from the controversies associated with what many regard as the destruction of Native American heritage; something Tinker ( 1993 ) has termed a form of 'cultural genocide'. And, as Steiner ( 1995 ) and Wrobel ( 1996Wrobel ( , 2002 argue the reality of the Frontier was one inherently about racialised violence, yet such a reality does not fi nd expression in Texan Old West memory. It is worth noting though, that these Texan historical sites are not the only cultural spaces in which the violence of the frontier has been marginalised or entirely forgotten.…”

This is a succinct survey of the numerous contributions to the history of the American west. In the past twenty-five years historians have created a 'New Western History', which has aimed to rewrite the 'Old Western History' created around the famous Turner thesis on the significance of the American Frontier. Focusing on five main themes, this study examines and discusses the dynamics and progress of recent scholarship. Consideration is given to issues of land use, the environment, race, ethnicity, gender, business and the development of communities. Synthesising prolific research, the book offers a clear and up-to-date review for all students of American history. A full bibliography is provided for more extended study.
