Settler Tenses explores the complex intersections of queerness, US nationalism, and settler colonialism in late 19th and early 20th-century American Western literature.
The book challenges traditional narratives by revealing how queer bodies and subjectivities were intertwined with national identity during the US's westward expansion.

The analysis delves into themes of masculinity, race, and religion, offering a nuanced understanding of the historical period.
Ultimately, the book provides a fresh perspective on the formation of American national identity and its relationship to queerness and colonialism.
