Variation West
Ardyth Kennelly's brilliant last novel spans four generations of a family in Mormon Utah, from the 1860s to the 1960s. Two fictional daughters of John D. Lee, notorious for his role in the 1857 Mountain Meadows massacre, and their descendants experience the changing eras of Western life and history. The book is a colorful procession of comic and tragic stories--of domestic life, historical events and personages, and superbly drawn characters. On a deeper level, the author illustrates the continuity of time and life, the effects of fanaticism, and the destructive power of social ideals of female beauty.
From Hester Street to Hollywood
This is the first full-scale biography of Jewish-American authorAnzia Yezierska. Based on extensive research into her letters and writings, it tells the real story of America's "Sweatshop Cinderella."
Outside America
A new study of those excluded from the national narrative of the West. Dan Moos challenges both traditional and revisionist perspectives in his exploration of the role of the mythology of the American West in the creation of a national identity. While Moos concurs with contemporary scholars who note that the myths of the American West depended in part upon the exclusion of certain groups - African Americans, Native Americans, and Mormons - he notes that many scholars, in their eagerness to identify and validate such excluded positions, have given short shrift to the cultural power of the myths they seek to debunk. That cultural power was such, Moos notes, that these disenfranchised groups themselves sought to harness it to their own ends through the active appropriation of the terms of those myths in advocating for their own inclusion in the national narrative. that, because the construction of American culture was never designed to accommodate these outsiders, their writings display a division between their imagined place in the narrative of the nation and their effacement within the real West marked by intolerance and inequality.
