托妮·莫里森是个政治意识极强的黑人女作家。她强调作品必须具有政治意义,这是作品的力量所在。因而,在进行小说创作时,莫里森自觉地将美国黑人过去和现在的生活境遇融入文本之中,以期展现被种族歧视扭曲异化的黑人的生活。莫里森并不满足于揭露社会制度的不公平,她还力图通过文学话语治愈黑人民族的心灵创伤,并呼吁黑人民众寻求失去的文化之根,重建民族意识。小说《宠儿》较全面反映了莫里森对于黑人文化重建的认识。 Toni Morrison is a black woman writer with strong political consciousness. She stressed that the work must have political significance, which is the strength of the work. Therefore, in the novel creation, Morrison consciously incorporated the past and current African American realities into the text in order to show the life of blacks distorted by racial discrimination. Morrison was not satisfied with exposing the unfairness of the social system. She also sought to heal the black wounds of the black people through literary discourses and called on the black people to seek the roots of the lost culture and rebuild their national consciousness. The novel “darling” more fully reflects Morrison’s understanding of the reconstruction of black culture.
