摘　　要：《柏油娃娃》中的女主人公吉丁具有黑人与孤儿的双重伦理身份。成为孤儿割裂了吉丁与黑人亲族和黑人文化间的联结,也导致她接受了白人的养育之恩,从而使其深受白人以及欧洲中心主义审美观、价值观和道德观的影响。这与其黑人的身份形成了矛盾,导致其在黑白文化间进行伦理选择时摇摆不定。吉丁既无法全然认同黑人文化并融入黑人族群,又无法为了被白人社会所接纳而与黑人文化彻底切割并抹杀自我,只能沦为游走于黑白文化之间的"文化孤儿"。小说表达了莫里森对全球化背景下新一波非裔离散浪潮对当代非裔美国人造成的文化冲击和伦理困境的思考。Jadine, the female protagonist of Toni Morrison＇s work Tar Baby, has double ethical identities as both a black and an orphan. Her identity as an orphan severs her link with the Black and their culture, and brings her under the influence from the White and the Eurocentric aesthetics, value system and morality. The contradiction between her two identities results in Jadine＇s hesitation when confronted with the choice between Black and White cultures. She cannot fully identify with the Black culture and integrate with the Black people, neither can she totally efface her Black identity nor separate from the Black culture to fit in the White society, which makes her a ＂cultural orphan＂ between Black and White cultures. The novel reveals Morrison＇s contemplation over the cultural shock and the ethical dilemma the modern wave of African diaspora brings to the contemporary African Americans.
