Vince Schleitwiler大胆的修正性研究将读者带入了非裔美国人和亚裔美国人文学中可识别但未知的跨太平洋领域。Schleitwiler的“跨太平洋”并不是暗指一个海洋空间或时间框架,而是指一种“方向”——“一种空间和时间的倾斜”(p. 391)。3). 有时,它从乔治亚州经香港扩散到吕宋岛,有时,它被压缩在密西西比三角洲的两个城镇之间。“黑色太平洋”的绰号是为这个地区的“一种特殊诱惑”保留的,这个地区被看似不相容的力量所吸引,代表力量的是来自亚太地区的两位黑人偶像——巴拉克•奥巴马(Barack Obama)和金刚(King Kong);一个代表着种族正义和多元文化的希望,另一个代表着与种族正义相对立的性暴力和私刑。施莱特维勒的主要目的是阐明他所谓的“帝国主义的种族正义”,并论证这种“正义”“只能通过在种族恐怖美学中持续不断的感知训练来维持”。3、4,重音原文)。这本书分为三部分五章,提供了“在帝国主义种族正义的裂缝中形成和飞行的文学”的细致阅读,以研究美国跨太平洋地区的种族(第4页)。比起地理上有明确边界的固定单位,他们更感兴趣的是迁徙,
Vince Schleitwiler’s bold, revisionary study initiates readers into recognizable but uncharted transpacific terrain in African American and Asian American literatures. Schleitwiler’s “transpacific” does not allude to an oceanic space or time frame, but rather to an “orientation”—“a kind of tilting of space and time”(p. 3). Sometimes, this spreads out from Georgia to Luzon via Hong Kong, and at other times, it is compressed between two towns in the Mississippi Delta. The “black Pacific” moniker is reserved for “a specific lure” within the terrain that gravitates toward seemingly incompatible forces represented by two black icons from the Asia-Pacific region, Barack Obama and King Kong; one represents hope for racial justice and multiculturalism, while the other represents sexualized violence and lynching, which appear as the antithesis of racial justice. Schleitwiler’s main aim is to illuminate what he calls “imperialism’s racial justice” and to argue that this “justice”“could be sustained only through an ongoing training of perception in an aesthetics of racial terror”(pp.3, 4, emphasis in original). Organized into three parts and five chapters, the book offers nuanced readings of “the literatures that take form and flight within the fissures of imperialism’s racial justice” to study race across US transpacific domains (p. 4). Less interested in geographically fixed units with distinct borders than in migrations,
