Abstract: Dionne Brand is one of the most influential contemporary Caribbean African immigrant female writers. She gains domestic and international attention for her careful description of the colonial slavery history and racial diaspora in Middle Passage. The complexity and variety of Brands writings in theme and technique have presented the multiplicity of criticism of Brand abroad, especially analysis and comments from the perspective of postcolonial feminism, racial and cultural trauma, diaspora, verbal narrative, comparative and so on. The domestic research on Brand is still in the initial stage. A detailed review of studies on Brand abroad and at home as well as a prospect for its future is conducted.

Key words: Dionne Brand, research abroad and at home, prospect

摘要： 戴奥妮·布兰德是当今影响力最大的加勒比非裔移民女作家之一，因对“中间通道”的殖民奴隶历史和族群离散细致的描绘获得国内外学界的关注。由于布兰德创作主题及手法的复杂性和多样性，国外对于布兰德的评论呈现多元性，尤其侧重从后殖民女性主义、族群和文化创伤、族群离散、语言叙述和对比等研究视角进行分析和评论。国内对于布兰德的研究尚处于起步阶段。本文对迄今国内外布兰德研究作了细致的梳理，并进行展望。
