Perimeters of Democracy: Inverse Utopias and the Wartime Social Landscape in the American West
Heather Fryer
It is no accident that the government's enclosed worlds were most numerous in the American West, where abundant open space has long symbolized the glory of American freedom and progress. Heather Fryer looks at four of these inverse utopias in the American West. Each community stripped freedoms from Americans based on beliefs about the treacherous tendencies of minorities, workers, and radicals.
