【摘要】 艾里斯.沃克是美国当代最重要的黑人妇女作家之一。她一生作品颇丰，但尤以长篇小说《紫色》闻名。小说一发表便轰动美国文坛,于1982年获得美国普利策奖。本文根据艾里斯.沃克的妇女主义分析《紫色》中黑人女性的救赎之路。首先通过对小说女主人公西丽及其黑人姐妹的分析指出《紫色》中黑人女性悲惨命运的根源：白人种族歧视和黑人男性性别歧视的双重压迫。然后提出黑人妇女如何得到救赎：一方面，黑人妇女必须从精神层面觉醒，认识到自己的身份和处境。回归非洲传统文化，这可以避免白人父权主义对黑人女性的毒害和麻痹。另一方面，黑人妇女只能通过黑人姐妹互帮互助才能脱离黑人男性束缚。但是要真正瓦解双重压迫，黑人妇女应该和黑人男性和睦相处。因为黑人男性也是白人性别歧视的受害者。唯有如此双重压迫才能得到真正的瓦解，黑人妇女才能获得真正的救赎。第一章主要通过分析女主人公西丽、内蒂和索菲亚悲惨经历指出黑人女性悲惨命运源自于白人种族歧视和黑人男性性别歧视的双重压迫。面对双重压迫黑人妇女失去了追求自由公平的方向，变成无言的驴，任由白人和黑人男性的欺凌和压迫。第二章分析《紫色》中黑人女性如何觉醒认识到自己的身份。妇女主义强调回归非洲传统文化可以避免白人父权主义对黑人女性的毒害和麻痹。首先以西丽对上帝看法的转变为例分析指出基督教不能给黑人妇女提供有益的精神力量，相反对黑人妇女有毒害麻痹的作用，为此应该信奉传统非洲宗教。黑人妇女文化涉及的布鲁斯音乐和缝被褥活动在《紫色》也是唤起黑人女性心目中非洲传统文化的重要形式。第三章通过分析黑人姐妹对女主人公西丽不同方面的帮助指出黑人妇女只能通过黑人姐妹互帮互助才能脱离黑人男性束缚。通过分析小说男主人公艾伯特两难境地指出《紫色》中黑人男性是白人性别歧视和黑人父权制的受害者。因此要真正瓦解双重压迫，妇女主义强调黑人妇女要和黑人男性和睦相处。更多还原

【Abstract】 Alice Walker, one of the most important black female writers in Americanliterary history, has composed abundant classic works, among which is the novel TheColor Purple won her Puliz prize in1982. As the work was published, it shocked theliterary circle of the USA with its unique charm.This paper focuses on black women’s quest for salvation in The Color Purplein light of womanism. Through the analysis of the protagonist Celie and her blacksisters, it is concluded that their miserable fates are deeply rooted in dual oppressions.They suffer not only from racial discrimination of whites, but also sexism of blackmen. On the one hand, black women should awake mentally so as to realize theiridentity and situation. Womanism emphasizes on returning to the traditional Africanculture, which can help black women to avoid harm and cheating of white patriarchy.On the other hand, black women can only break away from the bind of black men byhelping each other. To subvert dual oppressions, black women need to stay inharmonious lives with black men, who are the victims of racial discrimination aswell. Only in this way can black women really gain salvation and subvert dualoppressions.Chapter one is arranged to explore the root of black women which originatesfrom dual oppressions of white racists and black men sexists by analyzing themiserable experience of the protagonist Celie, Nettie and Sophia. Before dualoppressions black women in The Color Purple lose way to freedom and equality andbecome a mule, bullied and oppressed at random by white men and black men.Chapter two is focused on how black women in The Color Purple awake torealize their identity. Womanism emphasizes that black women can escape fromharm and cheating of white patriarchy through returning to traditional African culture.Firstly, it is analyzed that Christianity can not offer black women beneficial spiritualpower with the transformation of Celie’s understanding on God as example; on thecontrary, it is harmful and poisonous to black women. So black women shouldbelieve in traditional African religions. Blues and quilt making can also stimulatetraditional African culture in the heart of black women as important forms of blackwomen culture in The Color Purple. In chapter three, it is pointed out that black women only have to help eachother to withdraw from oppression of black men by studying how black sisters helpCelie from different perspectives. The black hero Albert’s dilemma situation will beanalyzed to prove black males in The Color Purple are victims of white racism andblack patriarchy, so in order to overturn duel oppressions womanism emphasizes thatblack women should lead harmonious lives with black men.更多还原
