The Ambidextrous Historian: Historical Writers and Writing in the American West
An appealing first edition in Near Fine condition with some soiling to the boards, rubbing to the spine and foxing to the page edges in a Very Good+ dustjacket with some wear and soiling to the back flap.
In The Ambidextrous Historian, C.L. Sonnichsen presents a compelling and groundbreaking study of historical writing in the American West. Drawing on a wide range of sources, Sonnichsen demonstrates that the West has long been a fertile ground for the creation of history and the writing of history. Far from simply reflecting the perspectives and values of the dominant culture, historical writing in the West has often been critical, innovative, and subversive. Sonnichsen provides a masterful overview of the history and theory of historical writing, as well as a rich and illuminating exploration of the ways in which historical writing in the West has reflected, shaped, and even challenged the dominant narratives of American history.; 120 pages.
