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."--Jacket 517 3 $aIn the belly of a laughing god : humour and irony in Native women's poetry 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 607 $aIndianer$2swd 607 $aUSA$2gnd 607 $aKanada$2gnd 615 0$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-$01502410 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787598503321 996 $aIn the belly of a laughing god$93730151 997 $aUNINA
