“Goh brings together a dizzying array of seemingly disparate subjects to ask provoking questions to challenge us to explore our western locales more deeply in order to expand not only our ideas of the American West but also our humanity.”—Western American Literature

“A beautifully rendered contemplation of the people, histories, and landscapes of the American West.”—Montana: The Magazine of Western History

“Western Journeys is essential for anyone wanting to learn more about the many voices, experiences, and people who have shaped the western landscapes.”—H-Environment

“Western Journeys is compelling, powerful, and important. The erasure that Goh wants to combat can only be addressed one word at a time. That is the power and the pain of recovery—it is slow—but once the hidden gets pulled into the light it cannot be lost again. Each of these essays is an act of hauling the past into the present, of naming what many might prefer to ignore or deny.”—Jennifer Sinor, author of Sky Songs: Meditations on Loving a Broken World and Ordinary Trauma

“The writing in Western Journeys is gorgeous, alternatingly spare and lush, in explicating how Teow Lim Goh found her writerly voice as an immigrant enthralled by an American West built upon the legislated and violent erasure of non-whites.”—Michelle Liu, University of Washington
