Black Rodeo

this was a really well done nonfiction historical book, it was a unique western book and a movie book. I enjoyed the way Mia Mask wrote this, I was never bored when reading and thought it was what I wanted it. I look forward to what Mia Mask comes out next and am glad I read this.

I’ve always wanted to learn more about black cowboys ever since I learned how much of the Wild West had been white washed and this book helped scratch that itch a bit more.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for allowing me to read this e-ARC. This does not impact my review in any way and all words are my own opinion.

A highly educational and strong read. Mask presents a thesis that while I had heard before, I had never really considered the greater impact on our cultural psyche. The numerous examples and long list of films examined ensured that the evidence was well-researched and developed in detail. I really enjoyed this read, especially Mask's discussion of intersectionality in western films.
