This critical analysis of the kitsch aesthetics comprehending in Gerald Vizenor’s novel Chancers accentuates the overt and subtle discourses that strike at the core of Native American appeal to unearth the underlying tangents of mainstream dominance over the Indigenous cultural traditions. The lack of differentiation between high and low cultures has enhanced Vizenor’s appeal kitsch as a tool of postmodern tradition. Author uses it simultaneously as a potent and viable source of artistic inspiration.References
