黑人民俗文化不仅折射出黑人族群的历史与传统,也渗透到他们的现实生活中。黑人女作家赫斯顿在其代表作《他们眼望上苍》中,便运用黑人民俗文化元素成功建构起机智聪明,具有自我意识、反抗精神及种族自豪感的“新黑人”形象,从而反映出非裔美国人民伟大的精神世界及种族传统文化在黑人作家创作中的积极作用。 Black folk culture reflects not only the history and traditions of black ethnic groups but also their real life. The black woman writer Heston, in her masterpiece “They See God,” successfully constructed the image of “black man” with clever intelligence, self-awareness, resistance spirit and pride of race by using black folk culture elements to reflect The African American people’s great spiritual world and ethnic traditional culture in the creation of black writers play an active role.
