Unsettling Laughter: Humor And Resistance In Nineteenth-Century Native Literature, Henry Y. Kirby
Unsettling Laughter: Humor And Resistance In Nineteenth-Century Native Literature, Henry Y. Kirby
Doctoral Dissertations
This dissertation examines how nineteenth-century Native authors use humor as a tool of political resistance. In their writings in English, these writers use irony and sarcasm to satirize colonialism and ridicule white society’s erroneous misrepresentations of Indigenous character. Additionally, Native writers also use humor to foster solidarity with audiences and to imagine new political possibilities. As these Native authors resisted settler colonialism, contemporary white American writers use humor to enact settler logics and perpetuate ideological violence against Native peoples, sometimes unintentionally.

Toward A Philosophy Of Race In Education, Corey V Kittrell
Toward A Philosophy Of Race In Education, Corey V Kittrell
Doctoral Dissertations
There is a tendency in education theory to place the focus on the consequences of racial hegemony (racism, Eurocentric education, low performance by racial minorities) and ignore that race is antecedent to these consequences. This dissertation explores the treatment of race within critical theory in education. I conduct a metaphysical analysis to examine the race concept as it emerges from the works of various critical theorists in education. This examination shows how some scholars affirm the scientifically discredited race concept by offering racial essentialist approaches for emancipatory education. I argue that one of consequences of these approaches is the further …
