摘要
露易丝.厄德里克是美国当代最杰出的作家之一。《爱药》是她的成名之作和代表作。《爱药》叙事形式新颖,作者从印第安人的视角去讲述美国历史上发生的与印第安人相关的事件对他们生活的影响,让世人听到了后殖民时代美国印第安人的感受和心声。《爱药》真实地反映了在文化接触与转型中,美国印第安人从坚守传统、被动迷茫到民族意识觉醒、与时俱进的生存状态和他们在寻求身份归属的同时,不得不面对年轻一代在主流文化的影响下,距传统渐去渐远的事实。
Louise Erdrich is one of the most outstanding modem writers in th United States. Love Medicine is her representative work that won a name for herself. She wrote in a novel way from the Indian's perspective about the impact of what had happened in the past related to Indian people on their life, making the world know the American Indian's feelings and thinking in the post -colonial era. Love Medicine reveals truly the state of existence of Indian people in Reservations from passive perplexity to the awakening of the sense of nationality, from sticking to tradition to selectively accepting the white people's living way and taking advantage of the federal govemment's laws to better their life. While persuing identity the American Indian have to face the fact that their young generation is deviating further and further from their tradition under the influnce of the mainstream culture.
