- Abstract
Sarah Deutsch's book, "Making a Modern U.S. West: The Contested Terrain of a Region and Its Borders, 1898–1940," offers a comprehensive history of the US West that centers on labor and work. Deutsch explores themes such as infrastructure development, financial trends, and labor migration within the context of borders and empire. The book is organized into four parts, each focusing on a specific time period and examining the impact of federal efforts to create borders, social movements that challenged these boundaries, and the remaking of economic boundaries in the 1930s. Deutsch's book provides a nuanced and engaging perspective on the history of the US West, highlighting the region's significance and interconnectedness with events in the East.
