Abstract
This paper examines the connection that the Myth of the West and the American national identity have through the Western genre, a genre that is considered to be exclusively American. What is more, the position of minorities, especially Native Americans, is the focus of this paper due to their close connection with the frontier and the Myth of the West. Additionally, the stereotyping of women, African Americans, Asian Americans and Hispanic Americans in representative Westerns is also considered. The paper examines the most common stereotypes that were used to portray minorities in the Western genre and how that image has changed throughout the years, focusing on the Golden Age Western which spans the period from the 1930s to the 1960s. For the analysis of the use of stereotypes and the portrayal of minorities in Westerns, four movies have been chosen: Stagecoach (1939), She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949), Apache (1954) and The Searchers (1956).
