Hoo-doo Cowboys and Bronze Buckaroos - Conceptions of the African American West

Undertakes an interdisciplinary exploration of the African American West through close readings of texts from a variety of media. This approach allows for both an in-depth analysis of individual texts and a discussion of material often left out or underrepresented in studies focused only on traditional literary material.
