Book Review

Race, Religion, Region: Landscapes of Encounter in the American West. Edited by Fay Botham and Sara M. Patterson. (Tucson: University of Arizona Press, 2006. ix + 190 pp. Illustrations, notes, bibliography, index. $40.00.)

The convergence of "the three Rs" (race, religion, and region) in the American West is an important theme around which to build a collection of scholarship. In their introduction, Botham and Patterson deftly and concisely point out problematic paradigms for each "R" from a western standpoint: white-black for race, Protestant-Catholic-Jew for religion, and frontier for region. This volume seeks to show through case studies "how accounting for religious narratives might expand the field of western studies, how focusing on the West might complicate American racial studies, and how religious studies might benefit from analysis of the American West" (p. 11).
