摘　　要：华裔女作家帕姆·张的处女作《山中有多少黄金》解锁了肤色含混的土生淘金者、佯装文雅的华裔渔家女、跨性别扮成牛仔的孤女等西部神话新面孔,不失为一部扣人心弦的新世纪美国西部文学力作。人物多元而复合的西部身份伪装,暗含含混纠结的伪装心理和意识形态的矛盾张力,正是小说不囿于可见史和伪科学的话语藩篱、突破“白人的西部”文学生产范式,进而重现土著民族和流散族裔“想象的共同体”西部真实的着力之处。本文将详细探讨人物西部身份伪装的具体演绎,解锁小说逆写“白人的西部”神话的详细内容。How Much of These Hills Is Gold,the debut novel by Chinese American female author C.Pam Zhang,is characterized by its haunting new-century vision of the American West.It brings new faces from a Chinese American family to the myth of the American West,a native gold miner,a Chinese fisherwoman and their orphaned girls,focusing on the family's multiple and intersected types of passing,and featuring an ambivalence to settler colonialism and indigeneity in native or migrant diasporas of the west.This enables the novel to break the limitation of the discourse of visible history and literary pseudoscience,and to rediscover the history of the people not through the filter of literary paradigm for"making the white man's West,"but through the experiences of those who lived the history.This paper is going to elaborate these main characters'performance of passing into the West and to unlock the specific content of the novel to write back to the myth of"the white man's West."
