Humor categories in publishing are packed with books by funny women and humorous sociocultural-political commentary--but no \u003ci\u003eNative\u003c\/i\u003e women. There are presumably more important concerns in Indian Country. More important than humor? Among the Diné\/Navajo, a ceremony is held in honor of a baby's first laugh. While the context is different, it nonetheless reminds us that laughter is precious, even sacred. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBury My Heart at Chuck E. Cheese's\u003c\/i\u003e is a powerful and compelling collection of Tiffany Midge's musings on life, politics, and identity as a Native woman in America. Artfully blending sly humor, social commentary, and meditations on love and loss, Midge weaves short, stand-alone musings into a memoir that stares down colonialism while chastising hipsters for abusing pumpkin spice. She explains why she does not like pussy hats, mercilessly dismantles pretendians, and confesses her own struggles with white-bread privilege. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Midge goes on to ponder Standing Rock, feminism, and a tweeting president, all while exploring her own complex identity and the loss of her mother. Employing humor as an act of resistance, these slices of life and matchless takes on urban-Indigenous identity disrupt the colonial narrative and provide commentary on popular culture, media, feminism, and the complications of identity, race, and politics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tiffany Midge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496215575\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496215574\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bison Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.71h x 5.99w x 0.91d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2019 pg. 11","brand":"Tiffany Midge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44047321661695,"sku":"9781496215574","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d711e2ef-62e0-4a00-823d-71cea147ba07.jpg?v=1684989537","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bury-my-heart-at-chuck-tiffany-midge-9781496215574","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
