摘　　要：恩古吉是首位以茅茅运动为主题进行创作的非洲作家,他在一系列小说和剧作中勾勒了20世纪肯尼亚民众反对英国殖民主义的斗争史,作品具有鲜明的历史性特征。本文采用新历史主义视角,在研究了恩古吉的茅茅历史叙事语境后,首先探讨他如何在反殖民斗争的叙事中通过塑造反殖民英雄和背叛者的形象,重构了吉库尤族人反抗殖民的民族斗争史;进而分析他打破了历史的单一叙述,把历史人物融入作品,展现了茅茅运动中的历史真实和他们为反抗殖民压迫而英勇斗争。恩古吉重塑了肯尼亚的历史记忆,表达了政治独立诉求的内涵。他以此重构了肯尼亚的历史篇章,为肯尼亚的民族独立谱写了一曲赞歌。Ngugi is the first African writer to focus on the Mau Mau movement in his works,depicting the struggle of the Kenyan people against British colonialism in the 20th century with distinct historical characteristics.Employing a new historicist perspective,this study first explores how he reconstructed the history of the Kikuyu people’s resistance to colonialism by shaping the images of anti-colonial heroes and traitors in the narrative of the anti-colonial struggle after examining the context of Ngũgi’s Mau Mau historical narratives.It then analyzes how he broke the single narrative of history by integrating historical figures into his works,revealing the historical truth of the Mau Mau movement and the characters’valiant struggle against colonial oppression.Ngũgi reshaped Kenya’s historical memory and expressed the connotations of political independence.By doing so,he reconstructed the historical chapters of Kenya,composing an ode to the nation’s independence.
