Published in 1980, China Men, has won many prizes for Maxine Kingston, including the National Book Award, and the National Book Critics Circle Award, and also been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. This book is a"narrative genealogy"(Lee, 2003) of Chinese immigrants in the United Stated, depicting their real living experience from the Opium War to the end of Vietnam War. With the representation of the Oriental's life to incarnate their pursuit of American Dream, China Men is closely connected with Orientalism put forward by Edward Said. Therefore, from the perspective of Said's Orientalism, this paper tries to subvert the orientalism in American dream of the Chinese immigrants in the China Men.展开更多

As one of the representatives of feminist writers in the last century, Angela Carter devoted her life to prosecuting patriarchal society from the perspective of women, calling on women to find themselves and realize personality libera-tion. At the same time, she is also a rational feminist, advocating the establishment of harmonious rather than antagonistic social re-lations with men and women.This article will mainly use text analysis and contrast and comparison to study the image of the male and female image in Angela Carter's modern fairy tale, and explore the reasons. On the basis of the text analysis, this paper will study the transformation of female image from the change of female status and personality. The laws of comparison and comparison will be used to explore the differences between men and women in the traditional fairy tale and the modern fairy tale of Angela Cart-er. The study found that in Carter's reconstruction of the fairy tale, the female image dares to break through the inherent status, and constantly launches the impact on the men's rights, seeking individual independence and self-liberation, and the male image is more diversified and more realistic and vivid. Through this study, it is hoped that the reader will have a deeper and more compre-hensive understanding of Angela Carter and his work, and find out the new feminist connotation contained in his work, thus ending the dualistic confrontation of the male and female and establishing a harmonious relationship.展开更多

It rewrites and parodies The Tempest with its postmodern subversion and construction, aiming to bombard European logocentric hegemony under the context of the Western grand narrative and the suppression of colored women with its Christian patriarchal system. Based on the Shakespearean canon, Indigo pivots on the marginalized and neglected figures in the original play and gives them a spotlight on the stage by empowering them with voices so as to reverse, subvert, and reconstruct Western History, challenging the Western hegemonic discourses of its patriarchal and colonial systems. Its success lies not only in the scrutiny of the past history under the perspective of postcolonial and postfeminist theories, but also in its author's identity as a white British woman and descendant of early settlers in the Caribbean, which leaves her with a peculiar stance to form a dialogue with Shakespeare and scrutinize history. Through depicting the anxiety of personal identity within the family, Indigo showcases the diversity and hybridity of the postcolonial legacy in the Caribbean. It bears witness to the cruelty of colonization and carries on its legacy through nonlinear narratives spanning more than three centuries, through which we can get a glimpse of Warner's ambition in healing the scars of past colonization and critically disclosing the darkness of it. This paper aims to better our understanding of the essence of this postmodern novel through the lenses of parody and deconstruction.展开更多
