Download or read book A Wilder West written by Mary-Ellen Kelm. This book was released on 2012-07-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rodeo cowboy is one of the most evocative images of the Wild West. The master of the frontier, he is renowned for his masculinity, toughness, and skill. A Wilder West returns to rodeo's small-town roots to explore how rodeo simultaneously embodies and subverts our traditional understandings of power relations between man and nature, women and men, settlers and Aboriginal peoples. An important contact zone – a chaotic and unpredictable place of encounter – rodeo has challenged expected social hierarchies, bringing people together across racial and gender divides to create friendships, rivalries, and unexpected intimacies. At the rodeo, Aboriginal riders became local heroes, and rodeo queens spoke their minds. A Wilder West complicates the idea of western Canada as a “white man's country” and shows how rural rodeos have been communities in which different rules applied. Lavishly illustrated, this creative history will change the way we see the West's most controversial sport.

Book Synopsis A Wilder in the West by : William Anderson

Download or read book A Wilder in the West written by William Anderson. This book was released on 1985-01-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eliza Jane lived a life which became a topic of public interest years after her death. Were it not for her brother Almanzo's writer-wife Laura Ingalls Wilder, Eliza Jane's name would have joined the ranks of "hidden women"--Who capably made homes, reared children adn contributed to their localities in the latter part of the last century. Since her status as a supporting character in the "Little House" classics came long after she was gone, the records of her life had simply become family keepsakes -- not historical documents -- and memories garnered by her family from Eliza Jane herself were sketchy and hardly anticipated as future facts surrounding a literary character.
