Trade Review
Rainbow Bridge to Monument Valley provides a captivating analysis of the meaning Anglos and Indians have made from two of the West's most iconic sites. In exploring these spaces and their place in the American and the Navajo imagination, Thomas J. Harvey makes a significant contribution to the cultural history of the American West and the nation."" - David Wrobel, author of Promised Lands: Promotion, Memory, and the Creation of the American West

""Thomas J. Harvey's work on the Utah-Arizona border region . . . will stake out new intellectual terrain for scholars seeking to explore the relationship between geography, cultural nationalism, and Occidentalism in twentieth-century America. . . . Harvey shows quite clearly how layers of meaning continue to be attached to the region and how modern mythmaking is perpetuated.""Carter Jones Meyer co-author of Selling the Indian: Commercializing and Appropriating American Indian Cultures
