*Outside America: Race, Ethnicity, and the Role of the American West in National Belonging*. By Dan Moos. (Hanover: Dartmouth College Press, University Press of New England, 2005. xii + 260 pp. Illustrations, notes, bibliography, index. $65.00, cloth; $24.95, paper.)
In Outside America, Dan Moos considers how the saga of western conquest was appropriated by African Americans, Mormons, and Indians "who resided structurally outside of that story" (p. 4). In this way, he hopes to illuminate how "certain culturally segregated Americans embraced the terms of a national narrative that was fundamentally oppressive to them" (p. 5).	1
To prove his point, Moos lines up an impressive array of "Outside Americans," including Oscar Micheaux, the black homesteader-novelist who became the nation's first successful black filmmaker; Nat Love, the cowboy-turned-Pullman Sleeping Car porter; Mormon authors such as Vardis Fisher, Maureen Whipple, and Virginian Sorensen; and Lakota Sioux Wild West show performers Nicholas Black Elk, Luther Standing Bear, and Sitting Bull.	. . .
