美国著名黑人女作家艾丽斯·沃克的小说《紫颜色》描写了女主人公西丽从受压迫到取得独立和解放的艰苦历程，揭示了处在种族主义和性别歧视双重压迫下的黑人妇女追求独立自由和自我发展，实现男女平等和种族平等的思想。通过仔细解读西丽的服饰变化，可以深度剖析女主人公由麻木到觉醒，再到独立自主的心路成长历程。通过研究发现：小说中的服饰不仅仅是西丽用以遮羞避寒之物，也不仅仅被用来美化自身，它更是西丽内心情感世界、性格特征、生活方式的体现，是一种处于纯粹状态中的无声语言和标志。%Alice Walker is an outstanding black woman writer in American literature, whose masterpiece is a novel, The Color Purple. In The Color Purple, Walker describes a tough course in which the protagonist, Celie, is from suffering repression to achieving independence and liberation. Moreover, the novel reveals that the black women, who are under the double oppressions of racialism and sexism, pursue self-independence and self-development in order to achieve gender equality and racial equality. Through careful interpretation of Celie's changing costume, readers can analyze Celie's psychical growth process which is from numbness to awakening, and eventually to independence. By means of researching, it can draw a conclusion that costume in the novel is not only used to do covering, to escape coldness or to beautify Celie, but also a kind of expression to show her inner world, personality as well as living style. Thus costume is a silent language and mark in a pure state.
