Tribal Television: Viewing Native People in Sitcoms
by Dustin Tahmahkera
Tahmahkera's book was really enjoyable to read--it was rich and accessible while still being theoretically sound. I don't know that it was massively groundbreaking in terms of analysis itself--I've seen Reel Injun, and that film makes very similar if not the same arguments as this book--but seeing it in the realm of sitcoms rather than films was interesting, particularly with the focus on Native humor as a model of survivance. It certainly raised a lot of questions for me in aligning Tahmahkera's readings of sitcom episodes alongside queer of color critique (especially Muñoz's disidentifications) and I think that alone is incredibly generative!
