摘要:The present article discusses hybridity as a strategy of postcolonial resistance in Gerald Vizenor’s novel The Heirs of Columbus (1991). In this work, the Native American author deconstructs the historical figure of Christopher Columbus in the five hundredth anniversary of his arrival in the American Continent. Moreover, the novel reaffirms the trickster play with colonialism as a means of Native survival in contemporary North American society.
