在小说《所罗门之歌》中,莫里森通过对“奶娃”心路历程的描写,展现了黑人探寻民族文化的艰难历程。她认为,无论是完全摒弃白人文化还是彻底融入白人主流文化,都无助于黑人民族文化的发展。美国黑人必须要继承弘扬黑人美国文化传统,构建一个源于传统又兼容于现代美国社会的文化。 In his novel Song of Solomon, Morrison demonstrated the difficult course of the blacks to explore the national culture through the description of the mentality of “Milk Girl”. She believes that no matter completely abandon the white culture or completely into the white mainstream culture, are not conducive to the development of black ethnic culture. Afro-Americans must inherit and promote black American cultural traditions and build a culture that is both traditional and compatible with modern American society.
