美国非裔女性作家笔下的肤色、性别与黑人原生态文化研究

摘要

肤色、性别与原生态文化是美国非裔女性作家佐拉·尼尔·赫斯顿创作的主要关涉点。与白皮肤比较而言，赫斯顿认为黑肤色等族裔特征为一种差异性的美。被界定为非主流草根文化的黑人原生态文化是黑人生存的策略和非裔文化身份的标识，是美国文化不可或缺的一个构成元素。黑人与白人、黑人文化与白人文化在保持个性的同时要进行种族间人与人的良性互动和种族间文化与文化的交融。赫斯顿在文本中近距离地审视了黑人男性对黑人女性的性别歧视，倡导族裔内部平等、互补的双性和谐，为非裔美国女性作家开启了一种有效的性别、种族、文化的诉求途径。%Afro-American woman writer Zola Neale Hurston focuses on complexion, gender,original ecologi-cal culture. As compared to white, Hurston considers black complexion as a beauty of difference. Black original ecological culture, which is defined as non-mainstream grassroots culture, is not only the strategy of the black’s survival but also the mark of Afro-American’s cultural identity, and the essential element of American culture. Black and white, black culture and white culture should keep the benign interaction between the racial groups and ethnic culture blending while maintaining individual characteristics. In the text Hurston makes a closer examina-tion of black men’s gender discrimination against black women, and advocates the equality inside the ethnic com-munity and the complementary harmony between the two genders. All of these open an effective channel for Af-ro-American women writers to appeal for gender, race and culture.
