A Study of the Search for Home in Leslie Marmon Silko's Novels (academic Series on Foreign Languages and Literatures)
by Li Xuemei
About This Novel
Starting from the perspective of thought, memory and myth, this book considers Silko's political exploration of cultural home, historical home and spiritual home in "Ceremony", "Annals of the Dead" and "Dune Garden", revealing the survival plight of Indians under the oppression of colonialism and imperialism and their unremitting efforts to seek cultural, historical and spiritual home. In the process of clarifying historical accumulation, the Indian history in small letters is brought to the surface, and the silenced minority groups re-enter the space of historical discourse. This book reveals the Indians' pursuit of cultural, historical and spiritual homeland through Silko's three novels. On the one hand, it reveals the hidden historical, cultural and political connotations behind homeland. On the other hand, it expresses the author's concern about the Indians' living conditions, highlighting the current significance of the search for homeland.
