Indigenous Celebrity speaks to the possibilities, challenges, and
consequences of popular forms of recognition, critically recasting
the lens through which we understand Indigenous people's
entanglements with celebrity. It presents a wide range of essays
that explore the theoretical, material, social, cultural, and
political impacts of celebrity on and for Indigenous people. It
questions and critiques the whitestream concept of celebrity and
the very juxtaposition of "Indigenous" and "celebrity" and casts a
critical lens on celebrity culture's impact on Indigenous people.
Indigenous people who willingly engage with celebrity culture, or
are drawn up into it, enter into a complex terrain of social
relations informed by layered dimensions of colonialism, racism,
sexism, homophobia/transphobia, and classism. Yet this reductive
framing of celebrity does not account for the ways that Indigenous
people's own worldviews inform Indigenous engagement with celebrity
culture--or rather, popular social and cultural forms of
recognition. Indigenous Celebrity reorients conversations on
Indigenous celebrity towards understanding how Indigenous people
draw from nation-specific processes of respect and recognition
while at the same time navigating external assumptions and
expectations. This collection examines the relationship of
Indigenous people to the concept of celebrity in past, present, and
ongoing contexts, identifying commonalities, tensions, and
possibilities.
