Description

The American West is the only book-length historical overview of the post-1900 American West. This balanced; comprehensive account of the modern West skillfully delineates the changes and resulting complexities that characterize the twentieth-century West. The authors consider the ways in which urban; service; and computer-related industries have replaced rural; extractive; and agricultural economies. They also trace the steps by which western politics shifted from New Deal principles to more conservative; Republican policies.
