Dream West : Politics and Religion in Cowboy Movies, Paperback by Brode, Douglas, ISBN 0292748280, ISBN-13 9780292748286, Brand New, Free shipping in the US "Overturns conventional thinking that the Western genre is essentially conservative. Instead, Brode demonstrates that Hollywood liberals used Westerns to espouse a progressive agenda on a range of issues, including gun control, environmental protection, respect for non-Christian belief systems, and community cohesion versus rugged individualism. Doug Brode takes a new look at dozens of Westerns, including Gunfight at the .

Reviews
Clearly Brode has made an important contribution to the literature on Western motion pictures. On nearly every page readers are confronted with new perspectives and ways of understanding how a film genre over one hundred years old addresses critical issues of American politics and religion., "Why did Hollywood want to change the old west cowboy? Making the cowboy more entertaining and creating a larger story base may be reasons. Brode makes the point that these actions were liberas ideas encouraged by those wanting gun control, environment, respect for non-Christian beliefs and community cooperation, as opposed to the concept of a ragged individual standing alone. The book makes us rethink everything we thought we knew about silver screen cowboys [...] dream west is an excellent book for lovers of the cowboy movie"- Jerry Turner, Area News
