N2  - This volume delves into the study of the American West from a Spanish perspective. Starting from the premise that the West as a geographical space and as a concept is undergoing a profound revision and that its impact, both in the USA and internationally, is unquestionable, it aims to contribute to this re-description through a contemporary Spanish standpoint. It looks into the hypothesis that, just as the "Old West" as myth and reality served as a cohesive element of "the American identity" and its values, and that its international impact was spectacular, the "New West" is currently being exported and assimilated internationally, extending the revision of the myth, and thus, its relationship with said identity.
