Ethnicity and Social Critique in Tony Hillerman's Crime Fiction
Original language description
American mystery writer Tony Hillerman (1925 - 2008) achieved wide readership both within the United States and abroad, and, significantly, within the US both among white Americans and Native Americans. The article discusses Hillerman's detective fiction firstly within the tradition of the genre and then focuses on particular themes and literary means the writer employs in order to disseminate knowledge about the Southwestern nations (tribes) among his readers using the framework of mystery (crime) fiction. Hillerman's two literary detectives Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn and Sergeant Jim Chee, both of the Navajo Tribal Police, are analyzed and contrasted with female characters. Finally, the paper analyzes the ways in which Hillerman makes the detectives' intimate knowledge of the traditions, beliefs and rituals of the southwestern tribes and of the rough beauty of the landscape central to the novels' plots, and how he presents cultural information.
