摘要：

该论文将从后殖民角度解析非洲殖民地人民受殖民压迫所表现出的反抗意识。首先，结合后殖民主义理论，分析说明非洲人民作为“他者”的存在，阐述其在经济、政治、文化以及意识等各方面受到的殖民压迫。然后，具体分析黑人摩西表现出的代表部分非洲人民的反抗意识和反抗作为，摩西一直有意识地在摆脱殖民者为其设定的“他者”的身份，一系列的表现和结果都将证实非洲殖民地人民将不断从意识和行动上反抗压迫的这一现象是真实发生的，并且是有希望的。不仅如此，摩西的行为同样影响了作为殖民者的白人，使其意识到非洲被殖民者潜在的力量和品质。摩西的行为不仅激励了非洲人民，同时有力地震慑了殖民者，预示着非洲解放的来临。摩西在为希望和自我而歌唱。

Abstract:

This paper is to analyze the awareness of resistance from the colonized African native people with the theories of postcolonialism. First of all, according to these postcolonial theories, the author explains the black native were treated as the “other” in their own land, stating out they were faced with the colonial oppression from every aspect especially in the economic, politic and cultural aspects. Then, the author vividly explains Moses’ resistant awareness and actions as a special preventative for the brave black native. Moses was always trying to get rid of the position of the “other” destined by the white. All his actions and results will prove it was real and hopeful for the black native to fight against the oppression and to get rid of the “other” in their land. What’s more, Moses was also influencing the white to realize the potential strength and good characteristics of the black native. What Moses did encouraged the African people and shocked the white people as well, indicating the coming of emancipation in Africa. Therefore, it was a song of hope and self from Moses, alone but aloud in the South Africa.

Key words: postcolonialism; the “other”; Moses; resistance; hope

1. Introduction
Doris Lessing is one of the most important British writers in the 20th century, who was awarded the 2007 Nobel Prize in Literature, described by the Swedish Academy as “that epicist of the female experience, who with scepticism, fire and visionary power has subjected a divided civilisation to scrutiny”. Her early living experience in the colonized land contributed a lot to her writing materials and themes which were mainly about racial discrimination and the poor natives.
