摘　　要：《拯救溺水鱼》(Saving Fish From Drowning, 2005)以独特的幽灵叙事视角,将历史与现实相结合,通过书写兰那南夷部落的历史伤痛与悲惨记忆,再现了美国华裔群体的历史伤痕。从小说南夷部落的历史中看到美国华裔历史的踪迹——官方排斥、压迫、歧视与暴力等等,被排斥的群体渴望受到官方认可,回归主流文化。通过南夷部落的历史叙事,作者意在为边缘群体发声。历史融合想象、时空错置,作品得以重现历史、修正历史,打破历史对美国华裔沉默和忽视的不公,找回失去的少数族裔话语权,进而从南夷部落的一系列遭遇中找到华裔历史的现世隐喻,以此颠覆美国官方历史叙事,唤醒族裔意识,重建华裔史。Saving Fish From Drowning(2005), by writing about the historical hurt and tragic memory of a southern Lan Na tribe, and combining history with reality in a unique narrative angle of ghosts, represents the historical wounds of Chinese American group. From the history of the Lan Na tribe in the novel, one can see the traces of Chinese American history-the official exclusion, oppression, discrimination and violence, and etc, and the desire of the excluded group for official recognition and a return to the mainstream culture. Through the historical narrative of the southern Lan Na tribe, the author intends to make noise for the marginal group: history mixed with imagination, time and space misplaced, in a way that enables the work to reproduce and revise history, breaking the injustice of historical silence towards and ignorance of Chinese Americans and finding back the lost right of the ethnic minority to speak, so that one can find the latter-day metaphor for the Chinese American history in the series of encounters of the southern Lan Na tribe in order to subvert the official historical narrative of America, reconstruct the Chinese history and awaken the ethnic consciousness.
