        The Popular West

        About the Series


        The Popular West series will explore a diverse array of popular representations of the American West, from film and television, to comic books and video games, to action figures and advertising. It will offer the premier venue for dissemination of new research on the Western in all its forms, energetically dispelling the notion that the Western was popular because it was simple. Works in the series will not be limited to academic monographs, and contributors are encouraged to submit innovative and original manuscripts and proposals that will enhance our understanding and reflect the vibrancy and complexity of the genre across the contemporary global media landscape.

        Red Dead Redemption

        Red Dead Redemption

        History, Myth, and Violence in the Video Game West

        Edited by John Wills and Esther Wright

        In its redeployment and reinvention of the Western’s myth and memes, the Red Dead franchise speaks to broader aspects of American culture—the hold of the frontier myth and the “Wild West” over the popular imagination, the role of gun culture in society, depictions of gender and ethnicity in mass media, and the increasing allure of digital escapism—all of which come in for scrutiny here, making this volume a vital, sweeping, and deeply revealing cultural intervention.
