摘要
当代著名非裔美国文学批评家、哈佛大学教授盖茨围绕种族、历史与文化主题,借助"跨大西洋奴隶贸易数据库"、美国人口普查历史档案,以及DNA分析提供的资料,发表了一系列著作与论文,制作了关于非裔美国历史、个体与家庭的系列纪录片,尝试回答非裔美国民族从哪里来、当下现状如何,以及走向何方等问题,以乐观的心态呈现其种族含混与美国梦寻主题。《盖茨读本》精选了盖茨不同时期的代表作品,有助于读者全面了解其批评思想。
Basing his research on historical documents provided by the TransAtlantic Slave Trade Database, American Census, and DNA analyses, Henry Louis Gates, Jr, has published a bulk of essays and books focusing on racial, historical, and cultural issues, and has produced documentaries concerning African American individuals, their families and histories. His works consider questions suchas where we are, how we got here and where we are going. A recent book, The Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Reader, collects representative writings of this leading African American critic, foregrounding his positive vision on racial hybridity and the American dream.
