摘要

One of the most exciting developments in contemporary world literature is the growth of a vital body of fiction by minority and post-colonial women writers, fiction that seeks to give voice to a previously voiceless past by inscribing those women's undocumented and unacknowledged histories into the lives of representative female characters. In diverse works from the United States, Canada, and New Zealand, for example, Afro-American, Japanese-Canadian, and Maori women are reclaiming their histories by fictively recreating the experiences of minority women in their societies. Similarly, many novels by Third World women draw parallels between their female protagonists' experiences of sexual and/or racial subjugation and the social history of women in Africa, the Caribbean, or India. In creating representative female characters whose experiences embody the history of women in their particular cultures, these writers assert that for minority and Third World women, the reclamation of their history is an act at once of survival and of affirmation, enabling them to define their own identities both as members of their particular ethnic group and as women.; Comparing and contrasting novels by Alice Walker, Paule Marshall, Joy Kogawa, Patricia Grace, Buchi Emecheta, Bessie Head, Zee Edgell, and Kamala Markandaya, my study charts patterns and correspondences among those novels in order to suggest some of the many ways in which minority and post-colonial women writers are defining new directions for the future through the reclamation of their personal and ethnic histories. I conclude that despite their diverse cultural and historical perspectives, these writers all share a common goal: by balancing the white and/or male-centered view of history with the minority or Third World woman's perspective, each writer seeks simultaneously to affirm her culture and to transform it.
机译：当代世界文学中最令人振奋的发展之一是少数族裔和后殖民女性作家的小说的生命力的增长，该小说试图通过将那些女性的无证件，未经承认的历史铭刻在生活中来表达以前无声的过去代表性女性角色。例如，在美国，加拿大和新西兰的各种作品中，美国黑人，日本加拿大人和毛利人妇女通过虚构地再现少数民族妇女在其社会中的经历来重拾自己的历史。同样，第三世界女性的许多小说在其女性主角的性征和/或种族征服经历与非洲，加勒比海地区或印度的女性社会历史之间存在相似之处。这些作家在创造具有代表性的女性角色时，体现了其特定文化中妇女的历史，他们断言，对于少数族裔和第三世界妇女，开垦他们的历史既是生存又是肯定的举动，使他们能够界定自己的身份作为其特定族裔成员和妇女的身份；比较和对比爱丽丝·沃克，鲍尔·马歇尔，乔伊·古川，帕特里夏·格雷斯，布奇·埃米切塔，贝西·海德，泽·埃杰尔和卡玛拉·马坎达亚的小说，我研究了这些小说中的模式和对应关系，以提出其中的许多方式少数民族和后殖民女性作家通过开垦自己的个人和种族历史为未来定义了新的方向。我的结论是，尽管他们的文化和历史观点各不相同，但这些作家都有一个共同的目标：通过以白人和/或男性为中心的历史观与少数派或第三世界妇女的观点相平衡，每位作家都力求同时肯定自己的文化和思想。改变它。
