Abstract: The novel The Map of Love is an outstanding creation on national historical writing by Ahdaf Soueif, an Egyptian immigrant woman writer. The novel not only demonstrates the exploration of the national history, but also expresses Soueif’s views on the integration of eastern and western cultures. ArabMuslim womans identity is one of the themes in the novel. From the perspective of postcolonial criticism, through the analysis of the writing back of imperial history and the theme of Muslin womens image in the novel, Soueifs thoughts on national problem and Muslin womens identity are deeply investigated. It is believed that this novel expresses the authors consciousness on cultural fusion.

Key words: Ahdaf Soueif, The Map of Love, nation, Muslin woman, cultural fusion

摘要: 《爱的地图》是埃及裔移民女作家艾赫达夫·苏维夫关于民族历史书写的杰出创作。小说不仅展现了苏维夫对本民族历史的探索,还表达了对东西方文化融合的看法。阿拉伯穆斯林女性身份问题是小说的重要主题之一。从后殖民批评视角出发,通过对《爱的地图》中的帝国历史反书写以及穆斯林女性形象的分析,深入解读苏维夫关于民族文化和穆斯林女性身份的思考,深刻地表达了作者的文化融合意识。
