自我的迷失与重构——《接骨师之女》的文化认同问题

Lucy's Search for Cultural Identity: An Analysis of The Bonesetter's Daughter from the Perspective of Post-colonialism

谭恩美《接骨师之女》中的女儿露丝是第二代美籍华裔移民,处在中美文化夹缝中的她感受到被两种文化边缘化的痛苦,由此坠入迷茫与困惑深渊。直到认同中国文化后,露丝才走出文化身份缺失的困境,并完成了对自我的重构。作者借此表明华裔移民应该在中美两种文化间找到一种平衡,并利用其独特的文化身份为两种文化交流做出贡献。

In Amy Tan＇s novel The Bonesetter＇s Daughter,Lucy is an Americanized second generation Chinese immigrant.Marginalized by both Chinese culture and American culture,she felt lost between the two cultures and only after she had accepted Chinese culture did she manage to establish her dual cultural identity.Hence,Amy Tan implies that Chinese immigrants should seek balance between Chinese culture and American culture and act as the bridge connecting the two cultures with their unique culture identities.
