Tracing the transnational influences of what has been known as a uniquely American genre, "the Western", Susan Kollin's Captivating Westerns analyses key moments in the history of multicultural encounters between the Middle East and the American West. In particular, the book examines how experiences of contact and conflict have played a role in defining the western US as a crucial American landscape.
