Abstract: Beloved, Toni Morrison’s most important and impressive novel, is inspired by the true story of a black American woman slave, Margaret Garner. This paper, by analyzing the black women’s status as slave and free, aims to study the establishment of black women’s subjectivity in Beloved. It holds that though physically liberated after the American Civil War, the blacks had to go a long way to spiritual freedom and self-identification. Individual effort is necessary for black women to gain subjectivity. But mutual help from the black community and preservation of traditional cultures are also indispensable in the course of seeking self-identity.
Key word: Beloved, self-identity, subjectivity
摘要：《宠儿》是托妮·莫里森创作的最重要最杰出的小说，取材于一个名叫玛格丽特·加纳的女黑奴的真实事件。本文通过分析黑人妇女的奴隶身份和自由人的身份，旨在研究《宠儿》中黑人妇女主体性的建立。本文认为尽管黑人在美国内战结束后获得了人身自由，但远远没有获得精神上的自由及自我认同。黑人妇女要想获得主体性，个体的努力必不可少，但黑人社区中的互相帮助及对传统文化的守护在寻求自我的过程中不可或缺。
