摘要这篇论文旨在研究托尼•莫里森的首篇小说《最蓝的眼睛》的主题,即黑人的身份迷失。托尼·莫里森美国黑人女作家,是迄今为止唯一一位获得诺贝尔文学奖的美国黑人女作家。被公认为当今世界最杰出的小说家之一。代表作品:《最蓝的眼睛》、《秀拉》、《所罗门之歌》。她生于俄亥俄州钢城洛里恩,父亲是蓝领工人,母亲在白人家做女佣。1949年她以优异成绩考入当时专为黑人开设的霍华德大学,攻读英语和古典文学^751`文~论!文'网www.751com.cn。曾担任高级编辑,为拳王穆罕默德·阿里自传撰写并出版自传。她是黑人女性维权的代言人,她的作品大多以为黑人争取民主自由与平等权利而著名世界。众人皆知,由于万恶的黑奴制度,与莫里森有着同样血缘的这群黑人中,由于长期白人价值观占据统治地位,大多数人并没能意识到自己一直束缚于无形的枷锁之下。这个故事由九岁女孩克劳迪娅讲述。它记录了一个11岁女孩佩克拉的悲惨故事,同时也再现了叙述者的人生经历。它生动的剖析了白人文化如何一点点蚕食黑人的价值观,从个体到家庭再到社区。
这篇论文主要研究书中以佩科拉为主的黑人女性的不同命运,探究主人翁佩科拉自我身份的迷失,在与克拉迪娅的坚韧的对比中探索其原因并提出解决措施。该论文将有利于进一步解决黑人女性维权的问题。
