美国当代著名作家科马克·麦卡锡的代表作“边境三部曲”既对墨西哥进行殖民主义再现,又对其试图建构的殖民主义话语进行改写和重写.在小说的故事背景和创作背景的双重观照下,小说对他者的再现和强势文化对他者的表征障碍象征了美国自二战后,特别是在全球化语境中的个体和民族身份认同危机.麦卡锡在反思和批判“美国例外论”的同时,也表达了一名白人主流作家对美国主流文化价值观的认同和妥协,“边境三部曲”也因此为美国的民族身份建构提供了重要的文化参照.

Cormac McCarthy＇s masterpiece The Border Trilogy constructs and deconstructs a colonial discourse simultaneously in its representation of Mexico. In light of The Border Trilogy＇ s setting and the background against wbich it is written, the dilemma ingrained in its representation of the Other symbolizes American individual and national identity crisis in the context of post-war era and globaliza- tion. While rethinking and criticizing American Exceptionalism, McCarthy nonetheless expresses his identification and compromise with American mainstream cultural values as a major white author, thus making The Border Trilogy an important cultural reference for the construction of American national identity.
