托尼.莫里森作品的一个重要主题是黑人孩子的成长问题。对《所罗门之歌》这一作品进行分析可以发现,莫里森实际上是想通过对黑人个体成长的探索寻找整个黑人民族的发展方向,即走继承黑人文化遗产的民族主义道路。所谓文化遗产,不仅指民族的历史、文化、传统、宗教,也包括家族的历史,其中蕴涵着无穷的民族精神和凝聚力。 An important theme of Tony Morrison’s work is the growth of black children. An analysis of the Song of Solomon found that Morrison actually wanted to find the direction of development of the entire Negro nation through the exploration of the growth of black individuals, that is, to follow the nationalist path that inherited the black cultural heritage. The so-called cultural heritage, not only refers to the national history, culture, traditions, religions, but also includes the history of the family, which implies an infinite national spirit and cohesion.
