Pierce, Jason (Jason Eric), author. Making the white man's West : whiteness and the creation of the American West / Jason E. Pierce. Boulder, Col. : University Press of Colorado, [2016] 1 online resource (xxv, 296 pages) : illustrations; digital, PDF file(s). text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier text file rda Open Access Unrestricted online access star In the early nineteenth century, critics like Zebulon Pike and Washington Irving viewed the West as a “dumping ground” for free blacks and Native Americans, a place where they could be segregated from the white communities east of the Mississippi River. But as immigrant populations and industrialization took hold in the East, white Americans began to view the West as a “refuge for real whites.” The West had the most diverse population in the nation with substantial numbers of American Indians, Hispanics, and Asians, but Anglo-Americans could control these mostly disenfranchised peoples and enjoy the privileges of power while celebrating their presence as providing a unique regional character. The first comprehensive study to examine the construction of white racial identity in the West, Making the White Man’s West shows how these two visions of the West shaped the history of the region and influenced a variety of contemporary social issues in the West today. Includes bibliographical references and index. Introduction: Whiteness and the Making of the American West -- Part I.
