试论《日用家当》中黑人的被子遗产与继承

On the Heritage and Inheritance of Black Quilts in Everyday Use

美国黑人被子遗产应定义为艺术遗产、政治遗产和家庭历史遗产。《日用家当》中作者和母亲的双重叙事话语对读者均有误导。迪伊在政治上表现肤浅,但她仍然应该成为黑人被子的艺术遗产和政治遗产的继承者。麦姬因其守旧,只能成为被子的家庭历史遗产的继承者。

The American black quilt heritage should be defined as artistic heritage, political heritage and family history heritage. The narrative discourses of both the author and the mother in Everyday Use may misguide the reader. Dee is not mature politically, yet she is still qualified as an inheritor of black quilt heritage with its political and artistic components. Maggie can ordy be regarded as an inheritor of the family history heritage of black quilts, owing to her unenlightened nature.
