小说《爵士乐》讲述了二十世纪二十年代生活在纽约哈莱姆区的黑人的生活状况,尤其是黑人的精神状况。美国历史上的奴隶制度以及奴隶制废除后,白人主流思想意识中的种族歧视是造成黑人精神苦闷的主要原因。然而,痛苦并非黑人的宿命。相反,在痛苦中黑人反思自我并最终找到了自我。 The novel Jazz tells of the lives of blacks living in New York’s Harlem in the 1920s, especially the mentality of blacks. After the slavery was abolished in the history of the United States and the abolition of slavery, the racial discrimination in the mainstream ideology of whites was the main reason for the mental anguish of blacks.
