世代递嬗:贝克的黑人文学理论

Generational Shift: Baker's African American Literary Theory

在美国黑人文学理论的建构中,贝克的贡献值得重视。贝克在这一领域的前期工作是将黑人文学置于种族文化背景中加以界定和考察,近来又将黑人的文化传统与当代黑人的文化实践联系起来,探讨黑人的语言运用与其文化的关系。

Baker's construction of African American literary theory merits attention. He inspected African American literature in the context of ethnic culture in the earlier stage. Recently he integrated the cultural tradition of African American with their cultural practice to explore the relations between language and culture.
