摘　　要：第二次世界大战后,大量黑人移民的到来使英国人的传统身份和国家认同受到极大冲击,通过引入“英国性”“后殖民忧郁”和“新种族主义”等重要概念,保罗·吉尔罗伊对战后英国的种族问题进行了重新图绘。吉尔罗伊指出,狭隘的关于“英国性”的理解成了排斥他者的借口,黑人移民由此被视为“内部的敌人”。陷入“后殖民忧郁”泥沼之中的英国人无法接受帝国已衰落这一事实,将衰颓的社会现状归咎于外来移民。在吉尔罗伊看来,通过打通种族、文化和国家之间的通道,“新种族主义”开始借用一套全新的话语来对黑人移民进行排斥,这一新形式的种族主义已经变得更为隐秘。After World WarⅡ,the arrival of a large number of black immigrants significantly changed English people s traditional views concerning their own personal and national identities.By bringing in key concepts such as“Britishness,”“postcolonial melancholia”and“new racism,”Paul Gilroy re-mapped the racial issues in post-war Britain.According to Gilroy,a narrow understanding of“Britishness”served as an excuse to exclude others,thus black immigrants were seen as the“the enemy within.”Furthermore,for the British people mired in“postcolonial melancholia,”not only was it difficult to accept the fact that the empire had declined,but they also began to blame the deteriorating situation on foreign immigrants.In Gilroy s view,contemporary racism has become more covert.By bridging the concepts of race,culture,and nation,“new racism”in Gilroy s sense has started to employ a completely new discourse to exclude black immigrants.
