摘　　要：2006年印度流散作家基兰·德赛凭借其第二部小说《失落的继承》荣获英国曼布克小说奖,随即获得学界广泛关注。本文重点分析该小说中的人物由于空间的错置,在跨国语境下追寻文化身份的过程中所遭受的失落、漂泊和无根感,认为该小说是历史叙事和现实书写的完美结合。它不仅探索了英国殖民霸权对印度人的深远影响,深刻反思了尼泊尔移民与印度其他民族之间的民族冲突等历史问题,而且创造性地触及了当今全球化世界的相关问题,是理解全球化影响的优秀文本。The Indian diasporic writer Kiran Desai won the 2006 Man Booker Prize for her second novel The Inheritance of Loss. This essay discusses the inbetweenness of transnational identities in that novel and the consequent sense of loss due to displacement. Interweaving historical narratives and contemporary issues, the novel explores the lingering effects of British colonization upon the Indian people, reflects on the historical confrontation between Nepalese immigrants in India and other ethnic groups, and creatively tackles pertinent issues of today＇s globalizing world. The novel therefore makes a perfect site for understanding the consequences of globalization.
