摘　　要：作为美国的少数族裔，华裔美国人在很长一段时间里都处于“无史”或历史被扭曲的窘境，他们在美国艰苦奋斗，勉力生存的族裔经验，往往消弭在美国WASP主流的宏大历史话语之中。以赵健秀、徐忠雄、汤亭亭、谭恩美等为首的华裔美国作家在其文学创作中勾沉、展现华裔美国人在美国长期被消音的历史，通过铭刻先人们在美国奋斗的轨迹，建构出华裔美国人的“另类”历史，以此颠覆、匡正和改写美国历史。他们笔下的历史再现既是其个人、族裔身份确认的必须，更是少数族裔“逆写帝国”、反抗美国“内部殖民”的一种政治策略。As the ethnic minority in America,Chinese Americans have long been placed in the predicament in which their history is 'absent' or distorted.Their ethnic experience of hard working and struggling for survival has been muffled by the grand historical discourse of American WASP(white Anglo-Saxon Protestant) mainstream.Led by Frank Chin,Shawn Wong,Maxine Hong Kingston and Amy Tan,Chinese American writers explore and present the history in which Chinese Americans have been silenced for ages.By tracking back the ancestors' course of struggle,they construct the 'different' history of Chinese Americans so as to subvert,rectify and rewrite American history.Such historical representation is not only essential to confirm their individual or ethnic identity,but also serves as a political strategy for ethnic minorities to 'write back to the empire' and revolt against the 'internal colonization' in America.
