黑人艺术运动中的女声——索妮亚·桑切斯访谈

Sonia Sanchez in the Masculine Black Arts Movement: An Interview

美国黑人艺术运动是美国历史上第一次以“社会参与”作为其美学基本要旨的文学运动,它以激进理想和政治热情狂飙般地冲破了美国民权运动时期黑人“抗议和请援文学”的传统,成为“黑人权力”运动的美学之翼。索妮亚.桑切斯正是在这一时期崛起于文坛,成为黑人艺术运动的中坚人物之一。这篇访谈探讨了对索妮亚的思想艺术产生影响的诸多因素,揭示了她在这场运动的不同阶段对宗教、人性、艺术等的思考,展现了她对黑人艺术运动独特的理解、贡献以及她对后来的黑人诗歌的影响。

American Black Arts Movement was the first American literary movement to advance “social engagement” as a sine qua non of its aesthetic. It broke with its radical ideals and political enthusiasm from the protest and petition literature and became the aesthetic wing of so-called Black Power Movement （BAM）. Just in such a period Sonia Sanchez rose as one of the leading literary figures of the BAM. This interview reveals the influences on Sanchez＇s thoughts and artistry,and her reflection over religion,humanity and art at different stages of BAM, while demonstrating her unique understanding of this movement and her contribution to the post-BAM African American poetry.
