In the Belly of a Laughing God examines how eight contemporary Native women poets in Canada and the United States - Joy Harjo, Louise Halfe, Kimberly Blaeser, Marilyn Dumont, Diane Glancy, Jeannette Armstrong, Wendy Rose, and Marie Annharte Baker - employ humour and irony to address the intricacies of race, gender, and nationality. While recognizing that humour and irony are often employed as methods of resistance, this careful analysis also acknowledges the ways that 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: religious 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. 606 $aAmerican poetry$xIndian authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican poetry$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican poetry$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHumor in literature 606 $aIrony in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAmerican poetry$xIndian authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican poetry$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHumor in literature. 615 0$aIrony in literature. 676 $aC811.540917 700 $aAndrews$b Jennifer Courtney Elizabeth$f1971-$0988305 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460946903321 996 $aIn the belly of a laughing god$92259992 997 $aUNINA
