A West Texas Soapbox (Volume 2) (West Texas A & M University)

Jim Sanderson

4.9/5 (9052 ratings)

Description:In a series of autobiographical ruminations, Jim Sanderson develops the theme that frontier wildness is still alive, especially in West Texas, though it may be repressed by fundamentalist religion and conservative politics. West Texans, he finds, have to reconcile the two sides of their contrary natures: the farmer, best represented by the fundamental church, and the frontiersman, best represented by the sleazy bar. Through this theme of internal conflict, Sanderson weaves his experiences of art and censorship, Texas myths in film and fiction, the interaction of Hispanic culture with the culture of West Texas, contradictions posed by academic interests in vocational teaching institutions, intellectual elitism versus the real world, and West Texas women's definition and self-definition. Through the examples of his students, he shows how the quest for the West Texas myth - freedom, liberation, and fulfillment - is always transforming, whether for good or bad.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
