The Fourth West: Wallace Stegner Lecture
Autor Charles Wilkinsonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 mar 2010 – vârsta ani
Environment
Charles Wilkinson views the history of the American West as being divided into three periods. The First West existed when only the American Indians occupied the land. The Second West began with the California Gold Rush and the rapid settlement of the region. The Third West began at the end of World War II when the American West experienced explosive growth that transformed the region from a largely rural environment to an urban environment. In this lecture, Wilkinson explores the question of whether the region is about to enter a new period, the Fourth West, when “we finally do know what we have and what we have to lose.”
