The Journey Of Vulnerable Groups

To persistent paying attention to and tirelessly writing about the Vulnerable Groups makes Bai Xian-yong and Alice Walker, the two writers which lived in the divergence of two cultures, have the consistent convergence about the works’theme inclination, and they have the marvelous isomorphism on the writing aims. On the traditional binary opposition about the male/female、White man/Colored People、heterosexuality/homosexuality,Bai Xian-yong and Alice Walker belong to one of the two or variety Vulnerable Groups, their double, and even multiplex plights makes that they could be more fully understanding the works’figures’inner and their struggle, they also use their personally experiences to write the female.Colored People、homosexuality, the bitter reality about their speech being deprived、their history being wiped out、their faith being treaded.This thesis uses the titles about "the followers of the speeches"、"Bird of Yout being exiles"、"the outlier in the insider" and so on to name the figures, who dare to strive for their rights, in the inner of the different Vulnerable Groups in Bai Xian-yong and Alice Walker’s works. While, it is different from the Vulnerable Groups’ struggle in the other writers’works, the figures’struggle under Bai Xian-yong and Alice Walker hands is softly, their purposes are reconstructing the centre but not overturning the centre, they are eager to attain one kind of right’s restriction and balance, which is handicapped with the mainstream. They wish to establish one harmony society which is coexistent.It is because of this thought,"Nora" and "heels" who has run away in their works are thinking how to go back home since they ran away from home, the purpose of their running away and the struggle is no other than to attain the rights’Male and Father’ tolerant and pardon. While as for the Colored People, under the covering of the White man’s centrality power words, their instinctive identify with their metropolitan traditional culture makes they could survive under the large burden of the exotic countries’power, makes their "rootless" souls could find the final ascription.Between the wrestling with the mainstream, Bai Xian-yong and Alice Walker both chose the deconstruction of the traditional binary opposition. As the former says, the purpose of this kind of deconstruction is not to be wiped out, but to be reconstructing; it is not independence, but dialogue. This is inseparable with Bai Xian-yong’s pathetic thought and Alice Walker’s Female’s Right; their shared common ideals are to construct one harmony and coexistence、equal and dialogic society, this is also their shared common writing theme that strides across Chinese and Western culture hedge.
