摘　　要：马克·吐温的小说或显性或隐性地刻画了不同种族的群体,结合时代背景对这些作品进行上下文分析会促使我们运用更广泛的方法思考问题,例如他的文学中如何反映不同种族群体的紧张关系,如何评判、比较种族化过程,如何转换结构种族主义体系的解读,如何补充聚焦于种族偏见的研究成果等等。My book project,Sitting in Darkness:Mark Twain and America’s Asia,draws on recent scholarship on Asian immigration,US imperialism,race theory,and legal history to situate Twain’s race fiction in a comparative perspective:in the in tersectional contexts of Chinese immigration restrictions and Jim Crow,even historical novels about antebellum slavery register red fluctuating connections between immigration policy,imperialist ventures,and anti-black racism.Although the project’s focus is on the explicit and implicit comparisons that Twain drew between different racial groups over the course of his career,contextualized analysis of his writings also provides occasions to think through broader methodological issues,such as how literature can reveal formative tensions between different racial groups,how to critique processes of comparative racialization without reproducing their logic of analogy,and how readings that attend to shifting institutions of structural racism can complement accounts that focus on the exposure of racial prejudice.
