摘要
为那些被国家和公民社区系统地虐待的人培养团结和对社区的爱是一项长期的挑战。而后者应该主要承担建立信任的责任,本文主要关注被虐待的自我放逐的代理和可能的回归原因。为了理解(重新)接触的可能动机,本文探讨了小说和批评中呈现的非裔美国人的侨民经历。它特别关注威廉·加德纳·史密斯(William Gardner Smith)的《石头脸》(The Stone Face)及其对黑人爱情作为社会复兴和政治权力行使工具的潜力的描绘。
Where Is the Love? Race, Self-Exile, and a Kind of Reconciliation
Cultivating solidarity or love for community for those systematically abused by the state and its civic community is a longstanding challenge. While the latter should primarily shoulder responsibility for (re)building trust, this article focuses on the abused self-exile’s agency and possible reasons for return. To understand possible motivations for (re)engagement, this article explores the African American expatriate experience rendered in fi ction and criticism. It focuses specifi cally on William Gardner Smith’s The Stone Face and its portrait of the potentialities of Black love as a vehicle of social resurrection and the exercise of political power.
