Female,Colonization,and Patriarchal Power:An Interpretation of Female Images in Syrian Novel Diamonds and Women

《钻石和女人》是叙利亚女作家丽娜·哈桑以20世纪初法国委任统治期前后为时代背景而创作的作品。小说聚焦移居拉美国家的叙利亚人民,关注特定历史时空下的女性境遇,以独特的女性视角塑造了许多边缘化的女性形象,其中有深受殖民和男权双重压迫的女性,也有迫于无奈出卖自身身体的女性以及敢于反抗、追求自由的女性。小说借贯穿全文的“钻石”这一美好事物的象征,呼吁女性突破传统社会男女不平等格局,构建一个相互理解、积极对话的新型男女平等关系。
