Paule Marshalls Brown Girl, Brownstones was a landmark in the depiction of female characters in Black American literature. Marshall avoided the oppressed and tragic heroine in conflict with White society that had been typical of the protest novels of the early twentieth century.
Like her immediate predecessors, Zora Neale Hurston and Gwendolyn Brooks, she focused her novel on an ordinary Black womans search for identity within the context of a Black community. But Marshall extended the analysis of Black female characters begun by Hurston and Brooks by depicting her heroines development in terms of the relationship between her Barbadian American parents, and by exploring how male and female roles were defined by their immigrant culture, which in turn was influenced by the materialism of White America. By placing characters within a wider cultural context, Marshall attacked racial and sexual stereotypes and paved the way for explorations of race, class, and gender in the novels of the 1970s.
该文共5句。第一句说PM的书是里程碑,这是一个出现在段落前场的正评价,就是文章的主题。下面就是要展开这个主题。为此并不需要知道它是什么方面的里程碑,因为就其是里程碑而言,肯定是与前,也与后比较,才有这个地位,所以单讲这本书本身是不够的。这是它本身在内容上所蕴涵的,后面必须把它展开。于是,文章后面内容一定先讲她之前如何,再讲她本身如何,最后讲她之后如何。
