美国黑人文学,是最近三百年来美国黑人在深受奴役、压迫和歧視的生活中創造出来的。它是整个美国文学的一个組成部分,但又具有自己鮮明的特色。我們只要簡单回顧一下它的历史,便可以看出,它从产生的第一天起就和美国黑人爭取解放的斗爭有着紧密的联系,并且很早就具有深厚的进步傳統。在蓄奴制度下,美国黑人最初根本沒有写作的可能。奴隶主的法律严格禁止他們讀書識字。可是,奴隶主的法律和皮鞭,只能禁止黑人写作,却无法制止黑人歌唱。他們在美国南部的种植园里,在带着鎖鏈工作的田野上,在奴隶市場的阴湿的小屋里,在隐蔽的沼泽和丛林中,很早就創造了举世聞名的悲歌、圣歌和其他充滿反抗精神的民歌。这些不朽的詩歌,都具有优美的韻律和音乐性的詞句,它們不只是傾訴了
Afro-American literature was created by Afro-Americans for the past three centuries in a deeply enslaved, oppressed and discriminated life. It is an integral part of the entire American literature, but it has its own distinct characteristics. As long as we briefly review its history, we can see that it has been closely linked to the struggle for emancipation of Afro-Americans from the first day it was born and has long had a profound tradition of progress. Under the slavery system, African Americans initially did not have the possibility of writing. The laws of slave owners strictly forbid them from reading. However, the laws of the slave owners and the whip can only prohibit black writing, but they can not stop the black singing. They have long established the world-famous songs, hymns and other hymns in the southern United States plantations, in chained fields, in the shady huts of the slave market, in hidden marshes and jungles Full of rebellious folk songs. These immortal poems, all with beautiful rhythmic and musical terms, are not just conversations
