Abstract: In Sula, Toni Morrison creates a series of black people who are struggling between the black culture and white culture. The novel centers on the black females; however, the black males, long ignored by the critics, share the same importance. Therefore, the analysis of the main four kinds of black male characters in the novel reveals that, because of the affliction of mainstream culture, the black males cannot possess complete identity and unavoidably become victims.

Key words: Sula, Toni Morrison, black male, identity, postcolonialism

摘要： 小说《秀拉》中，托尼·莫里森塑造出一群在黑人文化和白人文化夹缝中挣扎生活的美国黑人。虽然故事以黑人女性为中心，但被评论界长期忽略的黑人男性形象同样具有重要意义。本文从后殖民主义角度分析小说中的四类黑人男性形象，揭示出主流文化浸淫下的黑人男性无法获取身份认同，只能沦为社会边缘下的受害者。
