族裔女性的发声--以《女勇士》和《扶桑》为例

美华女作家汤亭亭的<女勇士>和严歌苓的<扶桑>,都以丰富的历史想象来重塑过去,融合了传记与小说的双重特点;她们的作品都塑造了在种族和性别歧视中勇敢生存的华人女性形象母亲和扶桑;作者有意识地将此女性形象作为现实生活的榜样和参照,反思当下华人女性的生存状况.华人女作家对过去的书写不仅重新建构了自身形象,而且重塑了并揭示了被美国主流话语掩盖和压制的华人历史.

The Voice of Ethnic Women--the Case of the Woman Warrior and Fusang

This essay concerns the way ethnic women voice by discussing the texts of Maxine Hong Kingston s the Woman Warrior and Geling Yan's Fusang. The works both reconstructs the history of Chinese immigrants in America. They blur the boundary of auto \ biography and fiction. They also shape a brave female survivor who get through the oppression of gender and reel. Mother and Fusang then become the examples for authors to meditate the lives of American Chinese women. I conclude that Chinese women writers reconstructe both the Chinese identity and the Chinese immigrant history, discovering the silent and hidden fact in the American mainstream history.
