  • Summary

  • In Episode 21 of the "South Phoenix Oral History Project," hosts Summer and Ele delve into Walter Nugent's Where is the American West? This report offers insights into individuals' perceptions of the geographical boundaries and cultural significance of the American West.

    The methodology employed in the paper involves conducting a survey to gather data on individuals' perceptions of the American West. Respondents were asked questions regarding the geographical boundaries of the West, and particularly on how they define the region.

    The paper focuses on the dichotomy between 'place' and 'process' in people's perceptions. It delves into where individuals believe the true West to be and what significance the West holds. This investigation is crucial as the frontier idea is considered a significant American creation myth, influencing not only perceptions of the West but also conceptions of America as a whole.

    Will this be relevant to Summer and Ele's research? Tune in to find out.

    Season 3 music is provided by Susanna Velarde Covarrubias.
