Produktbeschreibung
This volume delves into the study of the American West from a Spanish perspective. Starting from the premise that the West as a geographical space and as a concept is undergoing a profound revision and that its impact, both in the USA and internationally, is unquestionable, it aims to contribute to this re-description through a contemporary Spanish standpoint.
