It is largely thanks to Turner's influence that the idea of America as the home of a sturdily independent people - one prepared, ultimately, to obtain justice for themselves if they could not find it elsewhere - was born. The impact of these ideas can still be felt today: in many Americans' suspicion of \"big government,\" in their attachment to guns - even in Star Trek's vision of space as \"the final frontier.\" Turner's thesis may now be criticised as limited (in its exclusion of women) and over-stated (in its focus on the western frontier). That it redefined an issue in a highly impactful way - and that it did so exceptionally eloquently - cannot be doubted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joanna Dee Das,Joseph Tendler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1912302780\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781912302789\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Macat Library\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/25\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.30w x 0.40d","brand":"Joanna Dee Das","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088949031167,"sku":"9781912302789","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fdd5a393-f5ad-45fa-8f22-747adbe9585a.jpg?v=1769107449","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-analysis-of-frederick-jackson-joanna-dee-das-9781912302789","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
