新西兰作为英国的殖民地,其居民,无论是白人还是毛利人皆遭受了一定的文化创伤,这些都可从克里.休姆的名作《骨头人》中反映出来。主人公克蕾温、西蒙和乔所受的创伤代表了新西兰两个民族——白人和毛利人——所经受的创伤。这种文化创伤导致了殖民地居民的身份危机和文化危机。 New Zealand, as a British colony, suffered some cultural trauma from its inhabitants, whites and Maori, as reflected in Kerry Hume’s masterpiece Bone Man. Trauma to the protagonists, Kleimin, Simon and Joe, represents the traumatic experience of two ethnic groups, White and Maori, in New Zealand. This cultural trauma led to the identity crisis and cultural crisis of colonial residents.
