摘要

摘要:这篇个人散文以叙述的方式,通过其南方家族的故乡、传统和家系,探讨了一位北方后裔与大迁徙遗产的直接联系。作者以记忆和讲故事为工具,穿越时空,从她和父母的青年时代到成年时期,从北方到南方,对被抹杀、模糊和低估的遗产提出诉求,这主要是由于系统性的歧视,其次是由于与种族暴力、贫困和悲伤相关的代际沉默。为了超越对黑人历史的偏见和不完整描述的局限,这篇散文通过作者的记忆,将其与祖先的记忆联系在一起,旨在调和她的北方成长经历与南方根基之间的矛盾。

Abstract:

This personal essay uses narration to explore a northern descendant's direct connection to the legacy of the Great Migration though the lenses of her southern family's homelands, traditions, and family lineages. Memory and storytelling are the tools the author uses to weave through time and place, from her and her parents' youths through adulthoods, in both the North and South, to lay claim upon a heritage that has been erased, obfuscated, and undervalued chiefly because of systemic discrimination and secondarily because of intergenerational silences tied to racialized violence, poverty, and grief. With the intent to expand beyond the limitations of biased and incomplete accounts of Black histories, the prose therein culls through the author's memories and tethers them to those of her ancestors aiming to reconcile the dissonance between her northern upbringing and her southern roots.

期刊介绍: In the foreword to the first issue of the The Southern Literary Journal, published in November 1968, founding editors Louis D. Rubin, Jr. and C. Hugh Holman outlined the journal"s objectives: "To study the significant body of southern writing, to try to understand its relationship to the South, to attempt through it to understand an interesting and often vexing region of the American Union, and to do this, as far as possible, with good humor, critical tact, and objectivity--these are the perhaps impossible goals to which The Southern Literary Journal is committed." Since then The Southern Literary Journal has published hundreds of essays by scholars of southern literature examining the works of southern writers and the ongoing development of southern culture.
