A New Significance cover

This is a view of the history of the American West at the end of the 20th century. It is the first systematic attempt to assess the current state of Western History. It covers the major new areas of emphasis. The individual essays (developed for a conference in 1993 at Utah State University) are written by the most promising scholars of the younger generation of Western historians.

A New Significance is a challenging, thought-provoking volume of essays...The end result is a book of many voices and perspectives reflecting, in important ways, the diversity of our scholarship and methodology that marks western history in our time...The West, like other regions once treated in a colonial fashion, has important information to be discovered. So too does this useful collection of scholarship and perspectives on the significance of the West. * The Annals of Iowa *
