Masculinities In American Western Films : A Hyper-Linear History

The «Western» embodies many of the stereotypes of masculinity: rugged, independent men in cowboy hats roam the barren landscapes of the American West. Where did these cowboys come from? This book explores the relationship between the Western, film and historical representation and the ways in which masculine gender performance is itself historical.
