| Summary |
A study of post-1945 contemporary Western films within the social and cultural context of western studies. This book reveals how close examination of certain postwar films - including Bad Day at Black Rock, The Misfits, Lone Star, Easy Rider, Gas Food Lodging, Down in the Valley, and No Country for Old Men - reconfigures notions of region and nation, the Western, and indeed the West itself. -- Provided by publisher |
