Published April 17, 2024

  A seminal work, The Routledge Companion to Gender and the American West (Routledge) is an intersectional reframing of the American West and its peoples through an understanding of gender and sexuality. This volume comprises a host of diverse voices, from queer to Latinx scholars, offering novel and breakthrough arguments on the relationship between people and place in the American West. Investigating settler colonialism and the often-violent history of this geography, the authors demonstrate the importance of this history to contemporary scholarship, making this work useful across disciplines including history, geography, and gender and sexuality studies.
