摘要美国是一个大熔炉，来自不同国家与种族的人们生活在这片土地上。在白人强势的文化侵略之下，其它族裔不是在自己的传统文化和白人文化之间痛苦地挣扎，就是完全迷失在白人的文化中，忘记了自己的身份。美籍少数族裔在这样的文化冲击下，尤其是女性，或多或少的都受到了不同程度的文化创伤。本文以美籍华裔作家伍慧明的小说《骨》中的安娜和黑人作家托尼·莫里森的小说《最蓝的眼睛》中的佩科拉为例，分析女性有色人种经历的文化创伤以及探讨如何治愈这样的创伤。73316

Abstract The United States is always called 'melting pot' since a large amount of people of different races immigrated to this country for their own reasons。 Under the mighty hit of white culture, other minorities have been struggling between their traditional cultures and white culture, or lost in the main stream culture and lost their own identities。 So, undoubtedly, the American minority ethnics have suffered the cultural trauma, especially female。 By taking Ona in Bone written by Fae Myenne Ng and Pecola in The Bluest Eye as examples, this thesis analyses cultural trauma the colored females has undergone and how they can heal this kind of pain。
