A Reflection on Minority Culture in Mainstream American Culture——Sense of Ethnic Culture in Morrison's Novels

美国著名黑人女作家莫里森的小说中所体现的对后殖民时代美国少数族裔的文化生存问题,是美国少数民族裔作家们的一个重要思考方向。莫里森小说中展现出的非裔美国黑人在美国这个多元文化熔炉中坚守黑人文化传统的意义,以及在白人主流文化冲击下的黑人文化的觉醒,并最终寻找到在跨民族思维下少数族裔文化生存的策略,充分展示了美国文化的丰富多样性。

The cultural survival for post-colonial American ethnic minorities touched upon in Tony Morrison＇s novels is a major issue for minority writers. Her works depict African Americans＇ adherence to their traditional culture, the wakening of Black tradition under the attack of mainstream White culture, and their success in finding their strategies for cultural survival by means of trans-ethnic thinking. Her works fully illustrate the diversity of American culture.
