Introduction: Special Journal Issue “Cowboys and Pirates: Verging on the Horizons of Dangerous Shores of the Past and All-Too Present”
View through CrossRef
Cowboys and pirates are sometimes romantic figures with contested genealogies that bridge and breach dangerous shores of their motivation and acceptability. These critical autoethnographic informed essays engage explorations of our romanticized and politicized orientations to the cowboy and the pirate as they stand in the historiography of our lived experiences, or the socio-political constructions that establish a relational dynamic in culture and human social relations.
