Abstract:"While she lives in Garden Heights, a predominantly poor, black neighborhood, she attends a rich, mostly white private high school called Williamson Prep. Herein lies one of the novel's central tensions; since the two worlds Starr inhabits are in a sense opposite, she must split herself to function in each one. Garden Heights Starr is at home in the black, poor community; Williamson Starr is amid the multitude of rich, white peers. To do so, the protagonist uses sneakers to cross realms, so to speak, allowing the shoes to act as material representations of the social and racial boundaries she traverses daily. I wish to analyze how Starr uses sneakers to cross these lines between her school and home. In the novel, Thomas confronts the racist institutions that determine color lines and implements specifically black cultural symbols and capital to serve as foils to the racist ideologies."

“我发誓这些东西太新鲜了”:The Hate U Give 中的运动鞋、种族和流动性

摘要:“虽然她住在花园高地,这是一个以黑人为主的贫困社区,但她就读于一所富裕的、主要是白人的私立高中,名为威廉姆森预科。这就是小说的核心张力之一;因为斯塔尔所居住的两个世界在某种意义上是相反,她必须分裂自己在每个人身上发挥作用。花园高地斯塔尔在黑人贫困社区的家中;威廉姆森斯塔尔在众多富有的白人同龄人中。为此,主角使用运动鞋跨界,所以说话,让鞋子成为她每天穿越的社会和种族界限的物质表现。我想分析一下斯塔尔是如何用运动鞋跨越她的学校和家庭之间的这些界限的。在小说中,托马斯面对决定种族界限的种族主义机构,并专门实施黑人文化符号和资本,以作为种族主义意识形态的陪衬。”
