From Shane to Kill Bill : Rethinking the Western, Paperback by McGee, Patrick, ISBN 140513965X, ISBN-13 9781405139656, Brand New, Free P&P in the UK McGee (English, Louisiana State U.) traces the development of the Western from 1939 to the present and demonstrates that, in addition to defining the frontier myth and the limits of masculinity, the genre is a successful vehicle for articulating class resentments and the social contradictions in American culture. He uses examples such as Shane, The Searchers, Unforgiven and Kill Bill to discuss the political value of the Western as an expression of social desires typically unspoken in American public discourse.
