American Borderlands: Reflections on Margins, Mainstreams, and Alternatives
Written as the keynote for the 2018 Canadian Association for American Studies (CAAS) conference, this article draws on the author’s personal experience, half-century of historical research, and American art and fiction to examine American mainstreams and alternatives from the boundaries and borderlands of American social relationships and discourses. In the contexts of the Trump administration’s alleged “fake news” and “alternative facts,” it pro…
Intimate Visions: Representations of the Imperfect Body in the Age of Digital Medicine
The authors explore the work of artists looking at the relationship between illness, identity, the brain and imagery produced by medical imaging technology. Digital images of the brain generated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology represent a powerful unveiling, making visible that which was invisible until the creation of the CT scanner and, shortly after, the more refined MRI technology. At the intersection of fine art and clinical m…
Halfway across That Line: Gender at the Threshold of History in the North American West
T here is a scene in my favorite movie, Lone Star (1996), which compresses the social and spatial boundary lines of western history. Lone Star , according to writer/director John Sayles, is “a story about borders.” “In a personal sense,” Sayles elaborated, “a border is where you draw a line and say ‘This is where I end and someone else begins.’ In a metaphorical sense, it can be any of the symbols that we erect between one another—sex, class, rac…
Making an American Workforce: The Rockefellers and the Legacy of Ludlow . Edited by Fawn-Amber Montoya
The Ludlow Massacre climaxed the 1913–1914 southern Colorado coal strike, drawing national attention largely because two women and twelve children were among the dead. But others died throughout the strike and its violent aftermath. Nor was Ludlow uniquely violent among U.S. labor conflicts, even in claiming children. Nonetheless, most histories have focused on the massacre and on conditions in the mines and company towns before the strike. Makin…

Both Sides Now: “Parallel” Lines Across Bi-National Pasts
Originally presented at the Bridging Distances conference at Western Washington University, April 29, 2011, this article addresses the changing ways that Canadian and US histories, policies, and public images have reflected continental and national images of connected and separate pasts. It combines the author's personal and professional experience as a US citizen and American historian teaching in Canada to suggest the challenges and promises of…

Looking Back to the Road Ahead
The essays in this forum address the accomplishments and shortcomings of a quarter-century of western women's and gender history, suggesting future directions for the field. The authors differ in their assessments of efforts to achieve multicultural histories and to address relationships of power within western women's history, as well as about the impact of western women's history on western historical scholarship. This essay suggests that the d…
Marking Labor History on the National Landscape: The Restored Ludlow Memorial and its Significance
In 1915 officers of the United Mine Workers of America purchased forty acres of land north of the Ludlow, Colorado train depot on land where a tent colony had sheltered coal miners and their families during the 1913–1914 southern Colorado coal strike. Three years later, the union dedicated a memorial of Vermont granite on the site in memory of those who died there April 20, 1914, in the Ludlow Massacre

Dancing on the Rim, Tiptoeing through Minefields
This article uses border crossings by the author's family to illustrate the problems of historical narratives that do not consider who and what exists beyond national borders,as well as across conceptual boundaries of race, class, ethnicity, religion, gender,and sexuality. The national U.S. narrative rarely crosses the borders of what became three North American nations, or those between a pre-colonial North American past and a post-colonial nati…
Telling Differences
This article describes the competing meanings that U.S. and Canadian historians have assigned to their common borders and respective Wests. It compares how frontier,region, and a common border have shaped U.S. and Canadian histories and identities,as well as the complicity of historiography in telling the differences. Assuming that neither the nation state nor national identity is fixed or absolute, it argues that similarities and differences in …

I am not certain that she would recognize herself in much of the scholarship on western women, which has been influenced by the assumptions of traditional western history and of the Victorian Cult of Womanhood.2 Assuming that men's and women's worlds were separate, that men were public and women …
