中文摘要

學者多將威廉．杜博依斯（William Edward Burghardt Du Bois, 1868-1963）主編的黑人青少年讀物《黑孩兒之書》（The Brownies' Book）視為「哈林文藝復興」（Harlem Renaissance）下的產物，並從文學角度審視之。但我們發現《黑孩兒之書》的內容編排，深受到上述世界局勢與美國黑人社會實質的影響。因此本研究擬探討在國際局勢變化與「哈林文藝復興」之雙重影響下，以《黑孩兒之書》為例，從學者忽略的杜博依斯在《危機》（Crisis）中發表的〈攜手合作〉（"Close Ranks"）一文切入，並借用杜博依斯在《黑人的靈魂》（The Souls of Black Folk）提出的「面紗」（the Veil）概念表現其對非洲關懷等兩方面，剖析其在編輯《黑孩兒之書》所採用的書寫策略：用旁觀者的角度，反觀美國的種族議題；用文字取代照片，兼具保護兒童讀者和他們知的權利；以模糊界線或隱喻的敘事方式處理種族相關問題；運用自然界的繽紛色彩，正向面對種族膚色問題；引用「面紗」的概念，穿插非洲童話故事、傳奇與作者的親身經驗，以虛擬與具體交互為用，表現其對非洲關懷，並賦予其現代意義。
英文摘要

Scholars have considered The Brownies Book a literary product of the Harlem Renaissance. However, we will analyze the editorial content of this short-lived children's magazine under the influence of the international situations and the substantial impacts from Black society, such as the disappointments of post-war peace settlements, the conscious conflicts between William Edward Burghardt Du Bois's Double Consciousness and Marcus Garvey's back-to-Africa. We will discuss how those factors reflect the changes in the content of The Brownies' Book and further its writing strategies: expounds on racial issues with diversification and deliberates African image, starting from Du Bois's article "Close Ranks," published in Crisis, and the concept of "the Veil" which he argues in The Souls of Black Folk. The Brownies' Book presents racial issues from the perspective of "the others"; configures racial conflicts with written texts instead of photography in order to protect the children while respecting their right to know; describes relevant racial issues with blurring boundaries and metaphoric narrations; uses vivid colors in the nature to confront black-skin obsession. The editors of The Brownies' Book also expose the concept of "the Veil" to interact with the African fairy tales, legends, and the authors' personal experiences in the context of African imagery. Therefore, it offers a modern meaning for Africa through virtual and concrete interoperability.
