垮掉派文学是二十世纪美国文坛上独树一帜的文学流派，并在多年后依旧保持了其生命力。“垮掉派之王”杰克·凯鲁亚克作为垮掉派的领军人物，通过小说《在路上》为无数垮掉派青年们指引了方向。书中主人公为了摆脱白人社会的空虚而踏上旅途，一举一动都是垮掉派青年与白人中产阶级社会斗争的反映。值得注意的是，《在路上》中多次出现了主角萨尔和迪恩对于黑人文化的向往与渴求。本文旨在结合亚文化理论以及白种黑人理论对《在路上》中出现的黑人文化描写，例如爵士乐，家庭婚姻等，进行初步的文本分析。同时结合黑人文化的特点与根源，发现凯鲁亚克对黑人文化产生向往的根本原因，并分析黑人文化在垮掉派青年对抗中产阶级文化运动中所扮演重要角色的角色。

During the 1950s and 1960s, the literature of the Beat Generation becoming a unique literary genre in post-WWII America. The works of the Beat Generation remain their influence on the spiritual world of the youth even in today’s speeding society. Jack Kerouac, known as the King of the beats, used On the Road as a guidance to the beat youth. In the novel, the two heroes started their journey to escape from the emptiness of the white society. Each of their movement was a reflection of the beats’ resistance to the middle class culture. Noticeably, in On the Road, Paradise and Moriarty expressed several times their yearning toward the black culture. This essay will provide a thorough discussion towards this phenomenon by text analysis based on Hebdige’s subculture theory and the White Negro theory. The analysis will also focus on the origin and feature of the black culture itself. In the end, the essay seeks an explanation to Kerouac’s apparent preference towards the black culture and the role of black culture in the beat’s resistance against the middle class culture.
