摘要
口头传统作为非洲文化的特色,受到很多非洲作家的重视。肯尼亚作家恩古吉·瓦·提安哥将口头传统如神话、传奇、歌曲和谚语等融入自己的早期三部曲创作中,既体现了他非洲作家的地域身份,也是其对殖民主义乃至新殖民主义的抵抗策略。恩古吉希望在作品中借对口头传统的回忆和运用,唤起肯尼亚人民共同的族群记忆,建立民族的历史认同感,从而团结一致反抗殖民者的统治,减少肯尼亚独立后依然存在的种族矛盾与纷争。
As a characteristic of African culture,oral tradition has been paid more attention by many African writers.Ngugi wa Thiong’o,a Kenyan writer,integrated oral traditions,such as myths,legends,songs and proverbs,into his early trilogy creation,which not only reflected his regional identity as an African writer,but also his resistance strategy to colonialism and even neocolonialism.In his works,Ngugi hopes to recall and apply the oral traditions to evoke the common ethnic memories of Kenyan people,and to establish the historical identity of the nation,so as to unite the people to fight against the rule of the colonists and to reduce the ethnic conflicts and disputes that still exist after Kenya’s independence.
