Summary:

This book deals with an emerging subgenre of films made in a variety of countries that make critical references to American Westerns but deal with the social, racial and political situation of the countries where they were made. Following Neil Campbell’s definition of post-Westerns as films “coming after and going beyond the traditional Western” ( Post-Westerns , 31), this book opens up the scope and adopts a transnational perspective to examine films from former European colonies (Australia and Argentina) and European countries (France, Ireland, Italy, and Spain) that establish a dialogue with the Western genre and question its underlying values and assumptions
