浅议《紫色》中的黑人女性的觉醒与抗争
摘要:艾丽斯·沃克是美国文学史上最著名的黑人女作家之一。她的代表作品《紫色》发表于1982年,一经出版便引起了评论界轰动,并获得普利策文学奖和美国国家图书奖。艾丽斯沃克深受女姓主义影响,并把争取种族平等、女性解放作为其毕生的事业,她的这种女姓主义思想在小说《紫色》中得以体现。小说《紫色》深刻分析了黑人女性所遭受的来自种族主义和性别主义的双重压迫,揭示了阻碍黑人女性觉醒与获得解放的因素,呼唤黑人女性自我意识的觉醒,把争取女性平等的斗争扩大到黑人群体中。小说揭露了黑人男性和白人对黑人女性的歧视和压迫,并展现了黑人女性团结一致摆脱压迫,重建黑人男性和女性之间的和谐关系。
本文旨在阐述《紫色》中黑人女性的觉醒与抗争以及她们觉醒抗争的原因。全文共分为四章。第一章为引言,主要介绍艾丽斯沃克的生平和她最著名的小说《紫色》;第二章主要阐述黑人女性所遭受的双重压迫—黑人男性的性别歧视和压迫以及白人的种族歧视和压迫;第三章分为两部分介绍《紫色》中黑人女性的觉醒与解放:第一部分阐述促使黑人女性觉醒与抗争的原因,第二部分强调黑人女性从逆来顺受到觉醒抗争的转变过程,黑人女性团结一致摆脱压迫,获得独立,重新构建了男女之间的和谐关系;第四章是结论,对全文进行总结并重申重要观点。
