Praise for this book
"Heroes of the Borderlands will make lively and informative reading for students and scholars of Mexican popular culture as well as fans of US Westerns and their global reimaginings."--Rielle Navitski, Bulletin of Latin American Research
"Heroes of the Borderlands builds an effective framework for identity and opposition in the Mexican Western and makes a strong case for its value to academic study. . . . [Conway's] exploration of 'key landmarks in the cultural history of the Mexican Western through film, comics, and song' will have a lasting impact on future research."--Jeff Basile, Journal of Popular Culture
"Gleefully illustrated with posters, stills, and advertisements for Mexican Western films and comics, Heroes of the Borderlands is a beautifully produced book filled with insight on a variety of topics from Borderlands studies to Mexican comedy."--Jason Strykowski, New Mexico Historical Review
"Including wonderful illustrations, this exhaustive and accessible book will be valuable for those interested not only in Spanish film but in film and Mexican culture generally. Highly recommended."--I. Portaro, Choice
