摘　　要：露易丝·厄德里克的《守夜人》在重述1953—1954年与终结政策相关的印第安族裔政治事件的叙事进程中,以嵌套式、拼贴式叙事策略讲述印第安年轻女性维拉的故事,借以观照相关族裔政治历史与现实。维拉受政府宣传引诱而前往城市的举动,折射出同化政策话语下印第安人的摇摆心理,她受骗、受难的经历构成所谓“自由”“平等”下印第安人生存困境的隐喻,她重生的过程也是“属下”审视和反叛主流族裔政治话语的过程。厄德里克以维拉的故事解构美国主流族裔政治话语,回应当下二元对立式的族裔政治论争。In the narrative process of retelling the Native American political events related to Termination in 1953-1954,Louise Erdrich tells the story of Vera,a young Native American woman,by means of a nested and collage-like narrative strategy,which allows her to observe the history and reality of relevant ethnic politics.Enticed by government propaganda,Vera relocates from reservation to city,which reflects the ambivalent attitude of Native Americans towards the discourse of assimilation policy.Her experience of being deceived and tormented is a metaphor for the predicament of Native Americans with so-called"freedom"and"equality".Her rebirth shows how the subaltern reviews and rebels against the ethnic political discourse of majorities.Through Vera's story,Erdrich deconstructs mainstream American ethnic political discourse and responds to the current dualistic political debates.
