论路易斯？厄德里克《守夜人》的幸存主题
|
Abstract:
当代美国印第安作家路易斯？厄德里克的最新小说《守夜人》一方面展现了美国政府在上个世纪五六十年代运用法律条文对印第安人实施的有别于血腥军事征服的新一轮政策；另一方面再现了美国本土印第安人在艰难条件下追求幸存的努力以及幸存背后隐含的宝贵的民族精神内核。此书发掘的这段被忽视的历史、抵抗非正义的主题以及展现的印第安民族精神内核对当代世界有着甚为及时的启示意义。
The contemporary American Indian author Louise Erdrich’s latest novel The Night Watchman reveals that the American government executed a new termination policy by means of laws, instead of the bloody military conquest in the 1950s~1960s. What’s more, this novel reflects the great efforts to survive and the precious spirit core of the American Indians. The rediscovering of the neglected history, the theme of resisting against injustice and the manifested national spirit core, are timely and enlightening to the contemporary world.
