Product Details

Perhaps no other figure in American popular imagination conjures the respect, mystery, and adoration of the cowboy. "Cowboy" is a unique exhibition and accompanying catalogue that delves deeply into the multifaceted persona of this iconic figure from the early twentieth century to today. This book offers a new vision for the long-standing pop icon, exploring the cowboy through diverse perspectives and lived experiences. Director and co-curator Nora Burnett Abrams reexamines the cowboy through historical lenses, dismantling the myths and mystique surrounding this legendary character. Co-curator Miranda Lash engages in an extended interview with queer Latinx artist rafa esparza, discussing the vaquero (Spanish for cowboy) and the influence of norteño culture in his art. Jongwoo Jeremy Kim provides an in-depth analysis of Kenneth Tam's work, focusing on Asian American masculinity, sexuality, and representation. Myeshia Babers chronicles the history and contemporary relevance of Black rodeo cowboys, highlighting how this figure continues to perform and function in modern contexts. Additionally, artist R. Alan Brooks presents a dream-like short graphic novel that brings to life the history of Dearfield, Colorado, one of the earliest Black homesteading communities in the state. "Cowboy" is a comprehensive and enlightening exploration of the cowboy's enduring legacy and its diverse cultural significance. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, culture, and the evolving portrayal of one of its most enduring icons.
