摘要
《囚笼》是桑给巴尔裔英国作家阿卜杜勒扎克·古尔纳早年的作品,讲述了一位自幼背井离乡的非洲青年哈米德,因为向往爱情而主动走出了自我封闭的生活。他看似已挣脱了自构的囚笼,实则仍身处另一种困境之中。作者通过表现哈米德在异乡孤寂迷惘的生存状态,对自我身份的焦虑与认同,对故乡的思归之情,迫使人们反思究竟是什么铸造了阻隔哈米德追寻幸福的囚笼,旨在展现西方殖民侵略下黑人族裔群体身处的困境以及他们所遭受的无可挽回的伤害。
Cages is the early work of the Tanzanian-born British novelist Abdulrazak Gurnah.It tells the story of Hamid,an African young man who had left his hometown since childhood.He took the initiative to get out of self-isolation because of his longing for love.It seemed for him to have broken out of his self-constructed cage,however,he was in fact still in another predicament.By expressing the alienation and loneliness that Hamid could produce and the soul-searching questions it gave rise to about fragmented identities and the very meaning of'home',the author forces people to think over what created the cage that prevented Hamid from pursuing happiness,so as to show the plight of black ethnic groups under western colonial aggression and the irreparable harm they had suffered.
