休斯小说《父与子》中种族越界与暴力式精神突围

Ethnic Infringe and Violent Spirit Breakout in Langston Hughes’Father and Son

休斯在小说《父与子》里描写了白人父亲上校和混血儿子伯特的双向种族越界,旨在指出在种族关系上黑人与白人在美国社会理应处于一种相互交融共生的状态;同时也探究伯特的种族越界本质——反种族越界,即对黑人身份的建构。通过伯特暴力式精神突围的悲剧,休斯指出了黑人要想过上文明的生活,就必须摆脱白人强加在黑人身上的“文化暴力”枷锁,唤醒黑人精神,摆脱种族歧视。

In Father and Son,Langston Hughes describes the mutual ethnic infringe between the black and white in America,aiming to express that black and white people should be in a state of mutual integration and symbiosis in American society.On the other hand,Hughes makes an exploration of the essence of Burt’s ethnic infringe-anti-ethnic infringe or the construction of black identity.Through the tragedy of Burt’s violent spirit breakout,Hughes pointed out that if the black people want to live a civilized life,they must get rid of the shackles of“cultural violence”imposed by the white people,wake up the black spirit and get rid of racial discrimination.
