摘要

The problem of this study is to examine in Paule Marshall's Brown Girl, Brownstones (1959), Praisesong for the Widow (1983), and Daughters (1991) how West Indian culture influences identity development in female immigrants in America who use their collective community, cultural practices, and ambition to maintain their cultural values. The writer will employ theories from Edward Said, Homi Bhabha, and James Marcia to locate immigrant women as the Other, to establish hybrid communities and practices, and to discuss stages of identity development. In Brown Girl, Brownstones, Marshall suggests that female West Indians struggle with community identity versus individual identity. Additionally, it is argued that Marshall places these female characters in a state where a disavowal or embrace of cultural values plays a significant role in self-development. In Praisesong for the Widow, Marshall recounts a widow's quest for identity, which culminates in her physical and metaphorical journey. The writer posits that the collective community in Praisesong is lauded for its support system and nurturing ability in the text, and readers are forced to examine the value of belonging to a community versus establishing and maintaining individual identity. In Daughters, Marshall traces the life of her female protagonist, suggesting that her dependent relationship with her father stifles her individuality and self-development (Denniston 150). It is believed that Daughters therefore reveals an antagonistic relationship between the protagonist and her father because of her conflicting desires to please him while simultaneously wanting to break free. Furthermore, through Daughters, Marshall empowers her female readers to rid themselves of relationships that prevent them from developing as individuals.
机译：这项研究的问题在于，在保尔·马歇尔（Paule Marshall）的《布朗女孩》，《褐石乐队》（Brownstones，1959年），《寡妇的颂歌》（Praisesong for the Widow，1983年）和《女儿》（Daughters）中，考察西印度文化如何影响美国女性移民的身份发展，这些女性移民使用了自己的集体社区，文化习俗，并保持自己的文化价值观。作者将运用爱德华·赛义德（Edward Said），霍米·巴巴（Homi Bhabha）和詹姆斯·马西亚（James Marcia）的理论，将移民妇女定位为他人，建立混合社区和习俗，并讨论身份发展的各个阶段。马歇尔（Marshall）在《褐姑娘》（Brownstones）的《褐姑娘》（Brown Girl，Brownstones）中提出，西印度女性在社区认同与个人认同之间挣扎。此外，有人认为，马歇尔将这些女性角色置于一种拒绝或接受文化价值观在自我发展中起着重要作用的状态。在《寡妇颂歌》中，马歇尔叙述了寡妇对身份的追求，这在她的身体和隐喻之旅中达到了顶点。笔者认为，Praisesong的集体社区因其支持系统和在文本中的养育能力而备受赞誉，并且读者被迫研究归属于社区的价值与建立和维护个人身份的关系。马歇尔在《女儿》中追溯了女主人公的生活，暗示她与父亲的依存关系扼杀了她的个性和自我发展（Denniston 150）。据信，女儿之所以在主角和父亲之间表现出一种对立的关系，是因为她渴望取悦他，同时又想挣脱，这是相互矛盾的愿望。此外，通过“女儿”，马歇尔（Marshall）使她的女性读者摆脱了妨碍她们发展成个人的关系。
