Radical Frontiers in the Spaghetti Western fills this gap as the first in-depth analysis of militant political trends in the Italian Western. Providing a detailed, historically-grounded examination of the films of Damiano Damiani, Sergio Sollima and Sergio Corbucci, Austin Fisher reveals how and why these filmmake. 606 $aMotion pictures$zItaly 606 $aPolitics in motion pictures 606 $aSpaghetti Westerns$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFilm: styles & genres$2bicssc 615 0$aMotion pictures 615 0$aPolitics in motion pictures. 615 0$aSpaghetti Westerns$xHistory and criticism. 615 7$aFilm: styles & genres 676 $a791.43658780945 700 $aFisher$b Austin$01497917 801 0$bEBLCP 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791984603321 996 $aRadical frontiers in the spaghetti western$93723228 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03813nam 2200553 450 001 9910825052503321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-4962-0229-5 010 $a1-4962-0231-7 035 $a(CKB)4340000000192155 035 $a(OCoLC)993623724 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse59890 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4921962 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4921962 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11415979 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL1022832 035 $a(EXLCZ)994340000000192155 100 $a20170818h20172017 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|||||||nn|n 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aHomesteading the plains $etoward a new history /$fRichard Edwards, Jacob K.

The authors begin by noting the striking disparity between the public's perception of homesteading as a cherished part of our national narrative and most scholars' harshly negative and dismissive treatment.

Homesteading the Plains reexamines old data and draws from newly available digitized records to reassess the current interpretation's four principal tenets: homesteading was a minor factor in farm formation, with most Western farmers purchasing their land; most homesteaders failed to prove up their claims; the homesteading process was rife with corruption and fraud; and homesteading caused Indian land dispossession. Using data instead of anecdotes and focusing mainly on the nineteenth century, Homesteading the Plainsdemonstrates that the first three tenets are wrong and the fourth only partially true. In short, the public's perception of homesteading is perhaps more accurate than the one scholars have constructed.

Homesteading the Plainsprovides the basis for an understanding of homesteading that is startlingly different from current scholarly orthodoxy.
