Indi'n Humor Summary

Indi'n Humor: Bicultural Play in Native America by Kenneth Lincoln (Professor of English and American Studies, Professor of English and American Studies, University of California at Los Angeles)

Lincoln's study of Native American humour moves from tribal culture to interethnic literature. He covers the traditional Trickster of origin myths, historical ironies (speeches, treatises, as-told-to life stories), Euroamericans `playing Indian', Feminist Indian home humour, contemporary painters and playwrights reinventing Coyote, popular mixed-blood music and Red English, and three Native American novelists, Louise Erdrich, James Welch, and N. Scott Momaday, as well as a bicultural novel, The Northern Lights, by Howard Norman.

Indi'n Humor Reviews

`I believe this is an important and timely book, one that will ... help to bring critical responses to Native American writing to a new level of excellence ... there is nothing published that will compete with this study.'
'a vast portmanteau of a book ... it contains sufficient stimulus for dozens of research articles ... Admirable ... Lincoln has gone a long way towards the archaeology of Indian culture; the theoretical underpinnings of his study demand further consideration.' Guy Reynolds, University of Kent, American Studies, Volume 28, Part 3 - 1994
