The Mountain West: Interpreting the Folk Landscape (Creating the North American Landscape),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Why is the Westboth in the United States and Canadanot like the East? Traditionally, two answers have been given to the question: Either the West is a pioneer culturethe old frontier moved westward from what we now call the Eastor the West is a unique subculture originating in a human response to the demands of a dry, rugged physical environment.In this groundbreaking volume, Terry Jordan and his coauthors look to the log folk buildings of the Mountain West, from New Mexico to Alaska, to explain why the West is "the West." Arguing that artifacts such as dwellings, barns, and fences can, if correctly interpreted, reveal much about the origins and character of the regional culture, they set forth not only the first comprehensive description and analysis of Western folk architecture but also a systematic explanation of the culture of the West."The West," the authors conclude, "is at once indigenous and imported, innovative and ultraconservative, AngloAmerican and ethnic, unitary and plural." Westerners tinkered, invented, modified, and diversified. No single adaptive strategy brought to the West worked flawlessly in the new habitat. By extensive field investigation of stillextant folk houses, fences, barns, hay derricks, and cabinsall elements of material culturethey explain what the land tells us about the West.
