摘　　要：19世纪中期至20世纪上半叶,美国文学界出现了相当数量的、由美国非裔作家创作的种族冒充小说。这些小说以美国社会中真实存在的种族冒充现象为背景,围绕白肤色的黑白混血儿施行"种族冒充"展开叙事。它们虽以"种族冒充"为主题和情节,实际上却是对"种族冒充"的质疑和解构。这些作品通过独特的恶作剧叙事,揭示"种族冒充"的假命题本质。"冒充"的混血儿仿佛非洲神话中的恶作剧精灵,以身体的冒充完型自我的构图,在以空间移动挑战肤色政治的仪式中狂欢。在恶作剧叙事中,这些作品对白人性进行了表演和戏仿,颠覆肤色界限和种族差异的意识形态,解构种族偏见的合理性,在对种族和身份进行认识论层面的反思中呼吁种族融合。From mid-19 th century to the first half of the 20 thcentury,there emerged quite a number of racial passing novels by African American writers in American literature. These novels which are set in the real social phenomenon of racial passing in America,center on the fair-skinned mulattos＇ ＂racial passing＂and unfold their narratives. Although taking＂racial passing＂as the theme and key plot,the novels indeed question and deconstruct the＂racial passing＂. These works unmask by distinctive prank narratives that the mulattos＇ ＂racial passing＂is in essence a false proposition. Like tricksters in African mythology,the mulattos who conduct racial passing intend to complete the composition of self by the bodily passing,and revel in their defiance the politics of color by the ritual of spatial move. In the prank narratives,the novels perform and parody the whiteness,subvert the ideology of the color line and race differences,deconstruct the validity of race prejudice,appeal for racial integration in their reflection of race and identity in epistemology.
