Left in the West: Literature, Culture, and Progressive Politics in the American West

Description: An extensive exploration into the literary and cultural left in the American West

Review Quotes: "Left in the West offers a timely overview of the cultural production that emerged out of progressive social movements from the late 19th to the early 21st century. Weaving together social and literary history with biographies and theory about the cultural Left in the American West, the contributors create a complicated and diverse portrait of politically-engaged critical work."
--Susan Kollin, Montana State University, editor of A History of Western American Literature

"This edited volume adds to the already well-established scholarship on leftist politics in twentieth-century America, by drawing attention to the unique rapacity of political thinking and writing west of the Mississippi River."
--Great Plains Quarterly
