美国黑人女性主义文学的空谷足音——浅析《他们眼望着上苍》对黑人女性写作模式的建构

Classic Writing Mode of American Blacks: A Review of Their Eyes Were Watching God

佐拉·尼尔·赫斯顿的代表作《他们眼望着上苍》是美国黑人文学史上最早描写黑人女子女性意识觉醒的作品之一。这部作品对本民族民俗文化的理解与运用,对黑人女性心理的把握和描写,对种族问题的"大同"观念以及对性别歧视的非洲式化解方式无一不暗合艾丽斯·沃克对"妇女主义"的论述,建构出黑人女性写作的经典模式。

Their Eyes Were Watching God, the masterpiece of the black authoress Zora Neale Hurston, is one of the earliest novels focusing on black women＇s self-consciousness in the Afro-American literary history, Hurston accepted not only the difference of her cultural heritage but also its validity. In her writing lies her strong sense of a culturally-grounded self and racial identity, which agrees with Alice Walker＇s definition of feminism. Her writing is considered as the classic mode for black woman writing.
