抗争、蛰居、飞翔——美国非裔文学中身份政治的追问

Protest,Dormancy,and Flight: Identity Pursuit in Afro-American Literature

文化身份是一个流散族群或个体界定自身文化特点的标志,也是其安身立命的根本,尤其是一个弱势民族为了求得自身真实存在所关注的核心。赖特、艾里森和莫里森等几代美国黑人作家为此从各自不同的角度探讨了美国黑人身份政治追寻的意义。这一黑人民族文化身份追寻的过程揭示:黑人民族只有找到自己的根——黑人的传统文化,才能找到与白人抗衡的力量,在精神上获得重生,从而找到真实的存在。

The issue of cultural identity is the symbol of a diaspora race or an individual to define its cultural characteristics as well as its root to achieve a sense of self. It is, especially, the focus of a minority ethnic group struggling for an authentic being. Richard Wright, Ralph Ellison, and Toni Morrison, representatives of American black writers of generations, explore the identity pursuit in their masterpieces from different perspectives, which reveals that only through finding their own roots - their traditional culture - can the black get the power that can e.ompare with the white, thus achieving their spiritual rebirth and finding their authentic existence.
