《一处小地方》中殖民话语书写的修辞幻象

摘要

Jamaica Kincaid, one of the talented Nobel Prize competitors, has established herself as a most prominent figure in Caribbean American literature. In A Small Place, Kincaid brings unique insight into the historical and current situations of her motherland Antigua from an insider-outsider’s perspective, and illus-trates that the new tourist colonialism does harm to the local people. Through the lenses of rhetorical fan-tasy, hypocrisy of neo-colonialism and corruption of the Antigua government will be unveiled, indicating that there is still a long way to go for the colonized people, before they embrace real freedom and equality.%牙买加•金凯德被喻为“来自加勒比海带刺的黑玫瑰”，是诺贝尔文学奖极具竞争力的作家之一。她的《一处小地方》以祖国安提瓜新起的“观光殖民主义”为切入点，痛斥殖民主义的遗害和安提瓜政府的腐败，一种“恨铁不成钢”的意识贯穿行文始终。金凯德在《一处小地方》中，揭露和痛斥殖民姿态的修辞幻象，以“怒骂”式的语言予以还击，力图唤起更多人的良知，也表达出她对真正自由、平等的渴望。
