摘要
当代英国女作家扎迪·史密斯的成名作《白牙》,真实反映了二战后英国移民所面临的各种困境。基于多元文化的视角,对小说进行文本解读,可以探讨英国战后第二代移民所处的文化困境:与第一代移民相比,战后第二代移民并没有因为接受英国文化教育而受到平等待遇,他们在英国文化和本族文化的夹击下生存,陷入全盘西化还是回归本真的两难境地。
Zadie Smith＇s first novel White Teeth truly describes various dilemmas of post-war immigrants to Great Britain. The paper aims to analyzes the text, devote a further discussion to the cultural dilemmas of the second-generation immigrants in London after WWII, and indicate the difference of the second-generation immigrants from their parents—they receive English education but get unequal treatment, so they are put into a dilemma of westernization or orientalization by the influence of both English culture and their native cultures.
