摘要
李群英的华裔家族传奇《残月楼》以轰动加拿大的"詹妮特·史密斯案"为历史背景,在跨越太平洋的离散空间里叙述了王氏家族四代人的故事,再现了加拿大主流社会对华人边缘化和种族化的历史。在"东方主义"的种族政治背景之下,李群英以空间差异的形式将华人与印第安人之间不平等的关系表征出来,批判了少数族裔内部的东方主义。同时,作家通过对四代华裔女性生活空间变化的表征来反映华裔女性主体性和能动性的增强,从性别视角对加拿大的种族、族裔和性别政治进行了有力的抨击。
With the infamous Janet Smith murder case as the historical background,Chinese Canadian writer SKY Lee's Disappearing Moon Café( 1990) is a Chinese family romance that narrates four generations' stories of the Wong family within and beyond national boundaries. Lee describes the history of marginalization and racialization inflicted on Chinese and presents the unequal relationship between Chinese and native Indians,offering a critique of the internal orientalism within the minorities in Canada by means of spacial contrast. She also expresses the strengthened female subjectivity and agency by showing the spacial changes that four generations of Wong women undergo to critique racial and sexual politics in Canada through the lens of gender.
