Kansas and the West - New Perspectives

Drawing on scholarship that has transformed our understanding of the state and the region, Kansas and the West introduces readers to a wide range of people, places, and themes that address the complex relationships among race, class, gender and environment. By incorporating voices from history that have too long been lost in the din of tradition - especially the voices of Native Americans, blacks, women and laborers - Kansas and the West provides a provocative and much-needed new view of the state's past.
