6、 of her ancestors by heart and knows about their history.,(6)、 “Aunt Dees first husband whittled the dash,“ said Maggie so low you almost couldnt hear her. “His name was Henry, but they called him Stash.“,也许麦姬根本就不知道民族文化遗产为何物，其价值何在，但家族历史和家人的事迹牢牢地印在她的脑海中，被她重新赋予了生命。,Mother和Maggie都在逃离白人文化，她们似乎会永远“龟缩”在伤痛
7、的过去而不敢面对未来。,Walker在这里指出了一个所有非裔美国人必须扪心自问的问题：我是与我的人民一起“龟缩”在令人伤痛的过去，还是挺身与我的压迫者争夺未来。,相反，Dee不满足固步自封的状态，她是在白人世界中成长起来的黑人，但很难“长成”白人，也不可能成为“自然的黑人”。,Why did Dee come back?,Because it is “a new day” for the blacks now and as it becomes fashionable in the Black Power Movement to return to ones roots, it suddenl

12、 Dee and her boyfriend about her new name ., Name = ？,root 和identity, Dees original name has already been carried by several generations of female ancestors, which can be traced back beyond the Civil War, the new African name is not related to her personal history at all and dissociates her from her

Not only was her se
14、arch for a new heritage in vain, she also lost her real roots. This feeling is typical of the blacks of that time.,她认为迪伊这个名字是压迫他们的白人给的，但是实际上这个代代相传的名字正是寄托了祖母对于后代传承文化的期望，已经在某种意义上成为家族的文化遗产，新的名字才与她真的毫无关联，使她与黑人文化脱节。,What kind of situation was Dee in?,（3）“ But who was she named after? ” asked Wangero （4）“
15、 And who was she named after? ” asked Wangero,（5）Wangero was getting tired “Thats about as far back as I can trace it,“ I said.

19、件的来历远不及Maggie 清楚,表明对美国黑人文化传统的漠然与无知。,“I can use the churn top as a centerpiece for the alcove table,” “and Ill think of something artistic to do with the dasher.“,Dee的举动只是一种对黑人文化浮光掠影、粗浅庸俗的理解，她只对文化的象征物品感兴趣，以为搜罗一些艺术品就是回归文化，以为这样就可以赶上时尚的潮流，她并不清楚这些物品蕴藏着厚重的文化历史内涵，而且它们也不能引起她感情上的共鸣。Didnt evoke her respect an
20、d understanding,“Uncle Buddy whittle that, too?“,、 Following the “fashion” of the movement, she intangibly （无形的/模糊的）and surprisingly found the “value” of her family.,Is Dee a real defender for Black Power ?,、She seemingly goes with the flow and is very much into the ideas of the Black Power movement
21、. However, despite her good education she is unable to see the value of her most important roots her American roots.,虽然Dee声称自己在寻找民族文化之根，事实上她的做法却事与愿违，她以一种局外人的态度来欣赏本来应该属于自己民族文化遗产的东西。在追逐强势文化放弃弱势文化本位的过程中迷失了自己以及对自己精神的放逐。她只是靠近了文化的表面，但却远 离了黑人文化的根基，同时也背离了历史传统和遗产。她 一次充当了黑人文化的叛逆者。,又,、It is a pity that Dee only formed a shallow view on her culture. Neglecting the history and the love of the everyday use, she just wanted to keep them as ornaments to make a parade（展示）.,Thank you!,
