乔治·拉明是当今影响力最大的加勒比裔英国移民作家之一,因对加勒比地区的殖民历史和文化的细致描绘而在国际文坛上享有盛名。其作品复杂难懂,主题多样,由此引发了国外学界的广泛解读与研究,尤其是从历史虚无、身份迷失、语言丧失、政治霸权、种族隔离以及后殖民主义批评等视角进行分析和评论。与国外相比,国内对拉明的研究尚属起始阶段。 George Lamin, one of the most influential writers of Caribbean-British immigration in the United States today, has gained a reputation in the international literary world for his detailed portrayal of the colonial history and culture in the Caribbean. His works are complex and difficult to understand, and his subjects are diverse. As a result, his works have been widely interpreted and researched by foreign scholars. His analysis and comments are especially from the perspectives of historical nothingness, lost identity, language loss, political hegemony, apartheid and post-colonial criticism. Compared with foreign countries, domestic research on Lamin is still in its infancy.
