摘要:: 以索亚(Edward W.Soja) 的第三空间理论分析《中间通道》的空间建构，发现作家在《中间通道》中构造出边缘文化与主流文化碰撞下多种不同因素共存的异质空间，不仅显明殖民文化的混杂性、异质性和不确定性，而且在更深层次上揭露殖民文化的罪恶。

Abstract:: African-American writer Charles Johnson, the National Book Award Winner, has a profound philosophical background: he majored in western philosophy. He practiced the artistic technique that mixes philosophical thoughts and literary skills together in the novel writing in the masterpiece Middle Passage. This paper intends to analyze the space construction in Middle Passage based on Edward W. Soja’s “third space” theory. Heterogeneous space with a variety of different factors is set up by Charles Johnson in which marginal culture collides with the mainstream culture so as to illustrate the mixture, heterogeneity and uncertainty of colonial culture and further expose the evil of colonial culture.
