Race and Identity in Hemingway's Fiction

Race and Identity in Hemingway s Fiction explores how Hemingway negotiates race as a defining element of American identity. His interest in race and racial identity emerged in his writing and his personal life, through attention to skin color, performance of racial identity, and experimentation and immersion in tribal life and rituals. This study imagines what Hemingway s fiction would look like if his non-white characters were brought out of the background and asks how Hemingway s conception of American identity transforms when it is constructed on the basis of race.
