Abstract:In Albert Murray’s novel The Spyglass Tree (1991), which is set in a town similar to Tuskegee, Alabama and at a college similar to Tuskegee Institute in the 1930s, the protagonist hears a tale in a barbershop of how the campus community defended itself from the Ku Klux Klan in the previous decade. The protagonist uses this story, which is an approximately accurate re-telling of the historical defense of Tuskegee Institute from the Klan in 1923, as a model for heroic action. Murray thus revisits a theme from his first novel, Train Whistle Guitar (1974), in which the same protagonist learns to appreciate and be guided by African American vernacular traditions and published forms of discourse in equal measure.

阿尔伯特·默里的《望远镜树》和 1923 年塔斯基吉研究所的武装防御

摘要:阿尔伯特·默里 (Albert Murray) 的小说《望远镜树》 (The Spyglass Tree) (1991) 设定于 1930 年代与阿拉巴马州塔斯基吉相似的小镇和与塔斯基吉学院相似的大学中,主人公在理发店听到了校园社区如何捍卫的故事自己从过去十年的三K党。主人公用这个故事,大致准确地重述了 1923 年三K党对塔斯基吉研究所的历史防御,作为英雄行动的典范。因此,默里重新审视了他的第一部小说《火车哨吉他》(1974 年)中的一个主题,在该小说中,同一主角学会了同等程度地欣赏非裔美国人的方言传统和已发表的话语形式并受其指导。
