谢尔曼·阿莱克西《保留地布鲁斯》中的种族联盟

Racial Coalition in Sherman Alexie's Reservation Blues

谢尔曼·阿莱克西的小说《保留地布鲁斯》反映了印第安人、非裔美国人及美国白人之间的联盟。阿莱克西借用苏族拉科塔部落的"鬼舞"将个别部落的历史普遍化,以实现印第安人部落之间的联盟,即泛印第安主义联盟。作品中斯波坎族、扁头族、拉科塔族成员组成泛印第安联盟。阿莱克西通过复活已去世的非裔歌手实现了非裔美国人和印第安人两个弱势种族的联合。阿莱克西暗示用"互补共存"的原则实现印第安人和白人之间的联盟,即两个种族平等、互补地共存。

Sherman Alexie＇s novel Reservation Blues represents a coalition between American Indians,African Americans,and American Whites.Alexie appropriates the ＂Ghost Dance＂,pertaining to the Lakota Sioux,to generalize the history of one specific Indian tribe and achieves the coalition between all lndian tribes,i.e.pan-Indianism.In Reservation Blues,members of the Spokane,Flathead,and Lakota form a pan-Indian coalition.Alexie also snggests an interracial coalition between African Americans and Native Americans by magically bringing a late African American Blues musician to the Spokane Indian Reservation.Alexie suggests a racial complementarity pattern,in which the two races coexist as equal entities that complement each other,to form the Indian-White coalition.
