《天堂》中托妮·莫里森对黑人民族出路的追寻

The Search for the Emancipation of the Black in Paradise

通过分析《天堂》中鲁比镇老一代与年轻一代黑人在白人文化的影响下表现出的困惑和不同态度,揭示作者莫里森对继承与发展黑人民族文化的深刻思考。黑人既要接受白人社会的发展和白人文化,又不能抛弃黑人民族的传统文化。只有打破隔绝,以开放的心态面对社会,继承和发展黑人民族文化,黑人民族才能建立天堂,走向未来。

In Paradise ,Morrison suggests that isolation can＇t eliminate racial discrimination for the black people but make things worse . Isolation not only refuses the white race and the new concept , but also objects the developments of the black people and makes them become much blocked and lag behind .Only to break isolation positively ,to face the society with an open mind , the black people can get a bright future .
