《紫色》是美国女性作家艾丽斯·沃克的代表作品,作者塑造了一个生存在父权制压迫下并长期生活于苦难之中的黑人女性形象。故事发生于奴隶制度被废止近半个世纪的美国南部。虽然黑人在法律上获得了人身自由,但仍备受种族歧视的困扰,作为美国公民的真正权利与尊严远未实现。黑人女性更是生存在种族歧视与粗暴的黑人男性的双重压迫之下。失去父 “Purple” is the representative work of the American female writer Alice Walker. The author has shaped a black woman who lived under the pressure of patriarchy and lived in misery for a long time. The story takes place in the southern United States where slavery was abolished for nearly half a century. Although blacks are legally entitled to personal liberty, they are still plagued by racial discrimination and their true rights and dignity as U.S. citizens are far from being realized. Black women are living under the dual pressure of racism and brutal black men. Lost the parent
