章节摘录

版权页：   When taken as a postcolonial and postmodern text， Homebase ismeant to restore "the beautiful and glorious past," and the heroicdimensions of the experiences of Chinese American pioneers together withthe persecution， oppression and discrimination they suffer along the way.This has been achieved by narrating a number of personal journeys onairplanes， on trains， in cars or on foot，'linking the four generations of sonsand forefathers， whose varied contributions to Californian history remainunmarked in official history books. Most prominently， this tale includescollective grievances， which are shown in the continent-spanning labor ofthe protagonist's almost forgotten forefathers. Suddenly left alone in thisworld， Rainsford has to keep on driving to maintain his sanity： "When Istarted driving， I used to drive around at night through the hills， throughempty streets， just drive around at night to keep from thinking about thepursuit of my own life" (H 10). Here， driving on an open road，traditionally linked to American—style freedom， has for him become a wayof escaping from his pain of loss. Besides， it is pregnant with culturalconnotations， revealed in this sentence： "I move across America pickingup ghosts" (H 33). Here， the ghosts refer to those whose bodies were lyinghere and there， unclaimed and unattended to by white Americans. Sincethey have literally merged with the American land， Chan feels acommunion with the land itself. In other words， he has come to claimAmerica by claiming his ancestors as real and deserving Americans whoshould not be easily forgotten as such.
