宗教是非裔美国女作家作品中经常出现的主题之一。黑人女作家们没有仅仅停留于质疑传统的基督教,而是致力于寻找并构建一个全新的信仰使其成为黑人女性可以依赖的精神家园。美国黑人女性文学先驱佐拉·尼尔·赫斯顿在她的小说《他们眼望上苍》中重新解读了基督教和上帝,标志着黑人女性神学的启蒙;之后,在小说《摩西,山之人》中,赫斯顿大胆颠覆和解构了传统的圣经。赫斯顿的“文学女儿”艾丽丝·沃克继承了赫斯顿的宗教思想并发展成为泛神论的黑人女性神学思想。
Religion is one of the most frequently recurring themes in the works of African American women writers. Instead of just questioning traditional Christianity, black women writers are committed to finding and building a new faith that will make them spiritual homes upon which black women can depend. Zola Neil Heston, a pioneer of African-American female literature, reinterprets Christianity and God in her novel The Eyes of God, marking the enlightenment of black female theology. Later, in the novel “Moses, ”In, Heston boldly subvert and deconstruct the traditional Bible. Heston’s literary daughter Alice Walker inherited Heston’s religious ideas and developed into pantheism of black female theology.
