吉恩·图默是哈莱姆文艺复兴时期的主要黑人作家之一,在哈莱姆文艺复兴运动中占有异常重要的地位。《甘蔗》是图默一部富有独创性的代表作。小说出版后一度被评论界所忽视,第二次世界大战之后越来越受到重视。作品中人物的内心承受着多重身份压力:既有美国黑人的双重意识,也有黑白混血的双重身份,身份冲突与不确定性贯穿整部作品的主题。 Jean Tuo Mo is one of the major black writers of the Harlem Renaissance, occupying an unusually important position in the Harlem Renaissance movement. Sugar Cane is a rich and original masterpiece by Tumel. After the publication of the novel was ignored by critics, more and more attention after the Second World War. The heart of the characters in the works is under multiple pressures of identity: the double consciousness of both blacks and blacks, the conflict of identity and the uncertainty throughout the theme of the whole work.
