Frontier Myths: Settler Colonialism and Masculinity in the American Heartland

Levi Gahman

4.9/5 (12194 ratings)

Description:From the first white settlers on the frontier through to the football heroes of today, masculinity has been emblematic of American culture. This ethnography looks at America’s heartland—Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Iowa, Missouri, and Arkansas—to explore rural America’s prevailing conceptions of masculinity. Levi Gahman spent two years living and working with white men in these communities—discussing their perspectives on everything from land, guns, citizenship, and work, to gender, sexuality, race, and disability. Through these encounters, Gahman shows how the nation’s political economy subtly undergirds characteristically “masculine” attitudes of privilege and superiority, not to mention violence, and suggests that masculine white supremacy in America is lodged deep in the very fabric of nationhood itself.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
