| Sumario: | A literary criticism of Leslie Marmon Silko's 1977 novel "Ceremony" is presented. Topics covered include an examination on how the protagonist, Tayo, provides a nuanced challenge to the traditional male cowboy hero, how the novel exposes realities of the Western's constructions of gendered definitions of heroism and nationalism, and the utilization by the novel of iconic definitions of masculinity and heroism to healing ritual. |
