1. 1. Making The White Man's West

   Whiteness and the Creation of the American West

   

   This book argues that the American West was actively produced as a white space through laws, settlement practices, economic development, and cultural narratives rather than emerging naturally; it shows how federal policy, local actors, violence, and institutions enforced racial hierarchies, dispossessing Indigenous peoples and excluding or marginalizing Mexican, Chinese, and Black communities. Drawing on legal records, governmental policies, and cultural texts, the work traces how scientific, legal, and popular discourses legitimated white claims to land and labor and shaped the region’s landscapes, governance, and identities.
