逆写“黑暗之心”——评简·里斯的《黑暗中的航行》

Writing Back to the "Heart of Darkness":On Jean Rhys’ Voyage in the Dark

现当代英国小说家简·里斯的后殖民小说《黑暗中的航行》中西印度移民安娜·摩根在“母国”受到了种族和文化歧视，从“他者”的视角见证了帝国中心的黑暗本质。同时，尽管生活在“母国”的底层，安娜并未就此沉默和失语。相反，她以西印度文化为根基，在帝国中心一次又一次地与殖民霸权抗争，逆写了“黑暗之心”，构成了一种后殖民反话语。

In Jean Rhys＇ postcolonial novel Voyage in the Dark, Anna Morgan as a West Indian immigrant suffers from racial and cultural prejudice in the ＂Mother Country＂ and witnesses the darkness of the imperial center from an ＂Other＇s＂ point of view. On the other hand, though living as an outcast, Anna never gives up the resistance against colonial power. With West Indian culture as her root, she starts subversion from within the center, writes back to the ＂heart of darkness,＂ and constructs a postcolonial counter-discourse.
