摘　　要：非裔美国作家杰丝敏·沃德在小说《拾骨》中对卡特里娜飓风事件的种族问题进行深入控诉。该作品以密西西比沿海小镇的非裔少女伊丝及其家人在飓风前后12天的经历为主线,绘制出“黑人人类世”的叙事画面。文章旨在透过气候正义的视角,结合美国的历史与政策背景,对卡特里娜飓风如何呈现南方非裔家庭的废弃环境、非裔女性的脆弱身体以及非裔社区的伴侣动物进行探讨。文章进一步阐述了非裔家庭所承受的土地剥夺、气候债务与非裔女性所面临的的社会污名与身体权益丧失,以及非裔社区所经历的生物竞争。综上所述,沃德成功地冲破种族、性别和物种的辖域,抒发环境正义,并追求人与人、人与动物、人与自然和谐共生中的伴侣物种愿景。African American author Jesmyn Ward provides a profound indictment of the racial issues surrounding Hurricane Katrina incident in her National Book Award-winning novel Salvage the Bones.The novel depicts the 12-day experience of a young African American girl,Esch,and her family in a coastal town in Mississippi before and after the hurricane,painting a narrative panorama of the“Black Anthropocene.”This article aims to explore,from a climate justice perspective coupled with the historical and policy backdrop of the United States,how Hurricane Katrina portrays the disposable environments of Southern African American families,the vulnerable bodies of African American women,and the companion animals of the African American community.The paper further elucidates the land dispossession and climate debt borne by African American families,the social stigma and loss of bodily rights faced by African American women,and the biological competitions endured by the African American community.In sum,Ward successfully breaks through the boundaries of race,gender,and species to pursue a better vision of handling interconnectedness among all species.
