关于历史书写的隐喻——论《女勇士》的历史叙事

A Metaphor in Historical Writing: On the Historical Narrative of The Woman Warrior

《女勇士》通过对历史的大胆改写和杜撰,模糊了历史与文学的界限,揭示历史实为叙事。历史叙事为个人提供了定位和参照,并参与到个体的主体身份构建中。通过书写华裔美国人的历史,汤亭亭打破了美国历史对华人沉默和忽视的不公,突出了历史书写的政治性。

In its boldly revised and imagined history,The Woman Warrior blurs the boundary between history and literature and shows that history is actually a narrative. Historical narratives provide? a reference for individuals to construct their identity. By writing the history of Chinese Americans,Maxine Hong Kingston breaks the American historical community's silence on and neglect of the Chinese Americans and thus foregrounds the politicalness of historical writing.
