菲莉斯·惠特利的《从非洲到美洲》被评论家们认为是黑人赞颂基督教的诗,黑人评论家甚至以此批评她。本文通过对该诗用词的分析以及对第七句诗的英文句式分析,认为这是呼唤黑人和白人精神平等的诗作。由于当时的时代背景,作者将这种心声隐藏在对基督教的赞颂之中。 Phyllis Whitley’s “From Africa to America” ​​was regarded by critics as black verse praising Christianity, and black critics even criticized her. Through the analysis of the poem and the analysis of the English sentences of the seventh poem, this paper argues that it is a poem which calls for equality between blacks and whites. Due to the background of the time, the author hid his voice in the praise of Christianity.
