dc.description.abstractThis MA thesis aims to explore how contemporary Native writers and diasporic Chinese American writers employ humor in their works through the archetypical figure of the Trickster, to articulate their resistance to racism and cultural stereotyping. By examining a selection of Coyote stories by Thomas King, a novel by Gerald Vizenor and a novel by Maxine Hong Kingston, and the ways they adapt their mythical Tricksters reinscribing them in a contemporary setting, and the way these writers juggle with words and meanings, I hope to further reveal their intentions to resist and contest hegemonic dominance. This thesis is divided into three main sections. First, the concept of Trickster as a mythological and universal archetype; second, the different deployments of this figure in contemporary Native literature, and third how it is treated in Chinese American literatures. My thesis is that literary tricksters articulate the anxieties Native peoples and Chinese migrant communities experience in the United States and Canada, calling for them to rewrite their history and reject the assigned (mis)representation through humor.en
