ABSTRACT African Caribbean Canadian author Dionne Brand’s At the Full and Change of the Moon augments many African diasporic narratives’ efforts to counter and rewrite exclusive histories. While Brand’s novel challenges and nuances dominant historical narratives by offering counter memory of African diasporic experiences, particularly experiences of enslavement, it also simultaneously illuminates the conflicts that emerge when “holding” and passing on memories that are traumatic. Therefore, Brand’s text emphasizes both the importance of employing counter memory to revise hegemonic historical narratives and the necessity of assessing the impact of trauma on individual and collective remembrances.

“为我保留这个”:在迪翁·布兰德的《满月和月圆》中反击记忆和创伤

摘要 非洲加勒比地区加拿大作家 Dionne Brand 的《月亮的满月和变化》增强了许多非洲侨民叙事反驳和改写独家历史的努力。虽然布兰德的新奇挑战和细微差别通过提供对非洲侨民经历,特别是奴役经历的反记忆来主导历史叙事,但它同时也阐明了在“持有”和传递创伤性记忆时出现的冲突。因此,布兰德的文本既强调了使用反记忆来修正霸权历史叙事的重要性,也强调了评估创伤对个人和集体记忆的影响的必要性。
