摘　　要：20世纪30、40年代,芝加哥文坛上出现了一批以少数种族聚居区为背景,反映城市"他者"生活和思想状态的小说,如詹姆斯·法雷尔的《斯塔兹·朗尼根》三部曲、理查德·赖特的《土生子》和纳尔森·艾尔格伦的《长夜漫漫》。这一类少数种族聚居区的共性表现为物质上的贫穷和环境状况的糟糕;精神上的贫瘠和生活的无意义。斯塔兹、别格和布鲁诺是城市移民青年的典型,因受团伙和社会环境的影响,其人生最终短暂而悲剧。在城市中,他们面临信仰失落和道德毁坏的危机,是城市的失败者和受害者。这三部作品表现了这些城市"他者"们的沉浮与毁灭,呈现了一个杂糅的、多种族和多文化的城市生活样态。In 1930s and 1940s, there were some literary works in Chicago, such as James Farrell＇ s Studs Lonigan ： A Trilogy, Richard Wright＇ s Native Son, and Nelson Algren＇ s Never Coming Morning. Back with racial minori- ties＇ neighborhood of Chicago, these novels reflected the living and mind states of urban ＂other＂ ： physical poverty and spiritual infertility. Studs, Bigger and Bruno were representatives of urban immigrant youth, and their lives were brief and tragic because of the influence of gang and social environment. In cities, they confronted the crisis of belief loss and moral decay. They were losers and sufferers. These works represent ups and downs and ruining of urban ＂other＂. The multi-ethnic and multi-cultural urban life is also depicted.
