Fantasy Frontier: Old West Theme Parks And Memory In California, Amanda Tewes
Fantasy Frontier: Old West Theme Parks And Memory In California, Amanda Tewes

California’s Old West theme parks act as windows into mid-twentieth-century cultural conflicts of politics and identity within the state. But these sites are artifacts of a particular historical moment and their fantasy of the Old West memorializes mid-century renderings of the past rather than nineteenth-century …
