Abstract:	愛麗絲‧沃克創作《紫色姐妹花》旨在替黑人婦女發聲並指引其一條通往解放與自由之路。身為一位黑人女作家，沃克特別關注黑人婦女的處境。藉由這部小說，作者揭發黑人婦女在性別與種族歧視下所受到的不公平待遇。本文第一章中詳細分析書信體文學技巧在《紫色姐妹花》中的功能。不只西莉的信，奈蒂的信也關聯美國與非洲兩地的黑人婦女，所以涵蓋黑人種族與性別議題。此章討論許多這些議題。第二章著眼於西莉與奈蒂、蘇菲亞與秀格之間的女性情誼，以及姐妹情誼對女主角希莉自由解放過程的重要性。第三章檢驗父權及種族歧視如何導致黑人婦女的沉默無聲，並討論故事結尾的幸福結局。本論文的動機出於對婦女追求自由解放過程的興趣。愛麗絲‧沃克的《紫色姐妹花》能提供讀者對女性追求自由解放的樂觀看法以及一個成功的例子。更重要的是，這本書激勵婦女追求自由解放。 Alice Walker’s intention of writing The Color Purple is to speak for black women and to provide them with a path to obtain their freedom. Being a black female writer profoundly concerned with the circumstance of black women, Walker sensitively exposes the impact of sexism and racism on black women in her novel with a view to make the world aware of sexual and racial inequality. The first chapter is devoted to the epistolary form in The color Purple with a detailed analysis of how this literary device functions. In addition to Celie’s letters, Nettie’s are the connections between two black communities in America and Africa, thus encompassing a wider view of the black race and gender issues. Some points of view are also discussed to reinforce the thematic concerns. Chapter two focuses on the female bonds among the protagonist Celie and Nettie, Sofia and Shug, and the significance of sisterhood in her liberation process. The third chapter examines how patriarchy and racism lead to black female’s silence and the happy ending of the book. What motivates this thesis is a personal interest in women‘s struggle for freedom. Walker’s novel is an example of hope as it provides the reader with a sense of optimism that the reader can experience when reading the novel. More importantly, the novel offers a model of inspiration for women’s liberation. Key words: liberation, sisterhood, epistolary, gender, patriarchy, racism.
