摘要《所罗门之歌》是美国女作家托尼•莫里森的第三部小说，托尼•莫里森是1993年诺贝尔文学奖获得者。1978年该书出版的第二年，这部小说获得了美国国家评论界奖及作品奖，该小说标志着托尼•莫里森写作风格的改变。
作为一名黑人作家，莫里森的这部小说是以美国黑人为主人公的黑人生活故事，小说中包含的浓郁的黑人意识结合了种族，阶级及文化等多方面的因素。这种黑人意识在莫里森其他作品中也有所涉及，但在《所罗门之歌》中表现得最为突出。本文旨在阐明托尼•莫里森在这部小说中如何从身份定位、文化特色和种族态度这三个层面阐释了她的黑人意识，同时也体现小说中的吸引力。
本文从三个方面阐述了托尼•莫里森的黑人意识。首先是黑人身份的认同；其次，她通过黑人神话，黑人传统文化以及黑人的民族意识表明了她对黑人文化遗产的自豪；最后，她从奶娃和吉尔的种族态度以及对自由平等的追求展现了对种族自由的向往。
托尼•莫里森通过小说对黑人意识做出了她自己的独特解释，既增加了小说的魅力，也对帮助读者更好地理解作品的文学价值和现实意义起着关键的作用。
