While recognizing that humour and irony are often employed as methods of resistance, this ... analysis also acknowledges the ways in which they can be used to assert or restore order. Using the framework of humour and irony, five themes emerge from the words of these poets: spiritual transformations; generic transformations; history, memory, and the nation; photography and representational visibility; and land and the significance of 'home.' Through the double-voice discourse of irony and the textual surprises of humour, these poets challenge hegemonic renderings of themselves and their cultures, even as they enforce their own cultural norms."--JacketIn the belly of a laughing god : humour and irony in Native women's poetryAmerican poetryIndian authorsHistory and criticismAmerican poetryWomen authorsHistory and criticismAmerican poetry20th centuryHistory and criticismHumor in literatureIrony in literatureIndianerswdUSAgndKanadagndAmerican poetryIndian authorsHistory and criticism.American poetryWomen authorsHistory and criticism.American poetryHistory and criticism.Humor in literature.Irony in literature.C811.540917Andrews Jennifer Courtney Elizabeth1971-1502410MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787598503321In the belly of a laughing god3730151UNINA
