美国少数族裔文学中的族群认同与国家认同思考

Ethnic Identity and National Identity in American Minority Literature

由于移民国家历史、种族歧视以及少数族裔自我意识觉醒,身份问题成为美国少数族裔文学的一个重要主题。身份建构问题的关键是族群认同和国家认同的关系认知和处理,因此在美国少数族裔文学中触目可见族群认同和国家认同的矛盾和冲突,虽然描写方向各不一致,但是相关作品在族群文化和国家认同也形成了大致相同的特征,如肯定国家认同、重建族群认同等,对于相关特征的梳理,不仅有助于美国少数族裔文学的评价,也能使其他国家地区少数族裔文学创作拓展思路。
