Oh, Min Seok. “Cultural Fascism and Minor Literature: Reading Marilyn Dumont’s A Really Good Brown Girl.” Studies in English Language & Literature. 41.3 (2015): 63-83. This paper reads Marilyn Dumont, the Métis poet’s works in terms of internal colony, minor literature, hybridity, and fluidity. The cultural and political space of Canadian aboriginal people is that of internal colony in which they are continuously excluded, exploited, and appropriated by the white colonizers. In this sense, the nature of their life is basically political and collective from the start as the colonial system engraves the ethnic shame in them. The minority literature is a challenge to this internal colony as it disrupts, threats, and subverts the constructs of Euro-centered colonial ideology. Dumont’s case is much more complex as she is a female and half-breed. But this ethnic hybridity itself offers her a specific textual strategy to unsettle the colonial discourse. She mixes both languages of Cree and English, decodes, and recodes the culturally and politically accumulated and fossilized European codes through experimental and abrupt arrangement of signifiers. Her hybridity is also overlapped with the concept of fluidity as it defies any kind of vertical determinacy in the space of internal colony. (Dankook University)
