Rhizomatic West: Representing the American West in a Transnational, Global Media Age (2011) that register the American West as multiple, multivalent, unstable, unfixed, and even undefinable (original) (raw)

Exploring the intersection of environmental history and Mormon experiences, this collection of essays illustrates how the themes of religion and nature converge in the American West. The contributors analyze various aspects, including environmental theology, place-making, and the complex relationship between urban and agrarian lifestyles among Latter-day Saints. The volume not only addresses historical shortcomings but also provides a framework for future scholarly inquiries that integrate these intertwined fields.
