摘要
与其他华裔美国小说中的唐人街叙事相比,雷霆超的《吃碗茶》被认为是真实再现20世纪40年代的华裔美国社群、最具有"亚裔感性"的经典之作。本文聚焦于雷霆超笔下的唐人街"父权制"社会,研究唐人街由"单身汉"社会转向家庭社会时所面临的躁动不安,来自于中国封建文化的"父权家长制"在新的社会历史语境中所面临的颠覆和反抗以及在美国主流社会挤压之下所产生的扭曲和蜕变。
Compared with the Chinatown narratives in the other Chinese American novels,Louis Chu's Eat a Bowl of Tea is considered as the classic which truely portrays the Chinese American community in the 1940s with the most authentic'Asian American sensibility'.Through studying the turmoil and challenges the New York Chinatown confronts at the transitional point from the'bachelor'society to the family society,this article reveals the degeneration and distortion of the'patriarchal'society of Chinatown under the pressure of the mainstream American society.
