Synopsis
Gunfighter Nation completes Richard Slotkin's trilogy, begun in Regeneration Through Violence and continued in Fatal Environment, on the myth of the American frontier. Slotkin examines an impressive array of sources - fiction, Hollywood westerns, and the writings of Hollywood figures and Washington leaders - to show how the racialist theory of Anglo-Saxon ascendance and superiority (embodied in Theodore Roosevelt's The Winning of the West), rather than Frederick Jackson Turner's thesis of the closing of the frontier, exerted the most influence in popular culture and government policy making in the twentieth century. He argues that Roosevelt's view of the frontier myth provided the justification for most of America's expansionist policies, from Roosevelt's own Rough Riders to Kennedy's counterinsurgency and Johnson's war in Vietnam.

- o***i (303)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe seller quickly responds to queries. He’s also very nice and sent the Uno cards as quickly as possible and sturdily packed. II, however, was disappointed that the cards are quite small, not the large ones we are used to, as this was not mentioned. I do HIGHLY recommend this seller, and would again shop from him!Vintage Uno Cards ~ Sealed 2 Pkg ~ Playing Cards (#355186361594)
