 In American Westerns, the main characters are most often gunfighters, lawmen, ranchers and dancehall girls. Civil professionals such as doctors, engineers and journalists have been given far less representation, usually appearing as background characters in most films and fiction.

In Westerns about the 1910 Mexican Revolution, however, civil professionals also feature prominently in the narrative, often as members of the intelligentsia--an important force in Mexican politics. This book compares the roles of civil professionals in most American Westerns to those in films on the 1910 Mexican Revolution. Included are studies on the Santiago Toole novels by Richard Wheeler, Strange Lady in Town with Greer Garson and La sombra del Caudillo by Martin Luis Guzman.

Hall, Kenneth E.: - Kenneth E. Hall has written several books, including a study of John Woo's The Killer, authored many articles on Latin American literature, and is a contributor to Studies in the Western. He is a professor of Spanish at East Tennessee State University and lives in Johnson City, Tennessee.
