Rodeo

"What would rodeo look like if we took it as a record, not of human triumph and resilience, but of human imperfection and stubbornness?” asks animal historian Susan Nance. Against the backdrop of the larger histories of ranching, cattle, horses, and the environment in the West, this book explores how the evolution of rodeo has reflected rural western beliefs and assumptions about the natural world that have led to environmental crises and served the beef empire. By unearthing behind-the-scenes stories of rodeo animals as diverse individuals, this book lays bare contradictions within rodeo and the rural West. For almost 150 years, westerners have used rodeo to symbolically reenact their str...

Black Rodeo

African American westerns have a rich cinematic history and visual culture. Mia Mask examines the African American western hero within the larger context of film history by considering how Black westerns evolved and approached wide-ranging goals. Woody Strode’s 1950s transformation from football star to actor was the harbinger of hard-edged western heroes later played by Jim Brown and Fred Williamson. Sidney Poitier’s Buck and the Preacher provided a narrative helmed by a groundbreaking African American director and offered unconventionally rich roles for women. Mask moves from these discussions to consider blaxploitation westerns and an analysis of Jeff Kanew’s hard-to-find 1972 documentary about an all-Black rodeo. The book addresses how these movies set the stage for modern-day westploitation films like Django Unchained. A first-of-its kind survey, Black Rodeo illuminates the figure of the Black cowboy while examining the intersection of African American film history and the western.

Ilianna Tilki is mesmerizing. The luxury advertisers of Europe vie for her sex dripping commercials. Beyond the bright lights, the sexy model has no social life, and her rodeo icon doesn't even know she exists. Hovering on the brink of obsession, she was hurled into the presence of Shane Chadwick, her rodeo dreamboat. She never expected her fantasy cowboy to invite her to the Chadwick Roping Clinic, to demand she use her real name, Leanna Dubois, or to ask her to compete in the team roping circuit. He inspired her to remodel a guest ranch, to bake award-winning apple pies, and to conduct comical TV segments. The Code of the West runs strong with her rodeo man, and it's time to cowgirl up. Shane Chadwick left Colorado to start a left-handed rodeo career, become a Spokane TV personality, and draw close to his family. Attracted to exotic Middle Eastern women, he vowed never to be hoodwinked again. Doing a turquoise jewelry segment in Nevada, he runs into Ilianna Tilki. The battle of the sexes launches into full gear. He found himself falling in love with Leanna Dubois, his roping partner and an all-around ranch girl. But could he ever love Ilianna Tilki, her steamy stage personality?
