Abstract:Where previous scholars have read Hemingway’s “Soldier’s Home” as a story about post-World War I disillusionment and the concomitant crisis in masculinity, this article examines Hemingway’s use of raced masculinity. By pointing to Oklahoma, a location of racial violence; Kansas, a location of extended Klan influence; and the National Baseball League, a site of exclusively White corruption, Hemingway builds a submerged text focused on the dangers of White Supremacy and White Privilege. Hemingway then engages the trope of White Womanhood as a tool of raced masculinity. “Soldier’s Home” shows how a spectral presence of anti-Black violence shapes one white soldier’s reintegration.

Abstract:In his 1946 essay “Twentieth-Century Fiction and the Black Mask of Humanity,” Ralph Ellison accuses Hemingway of “intellectual evasion” on the topic of race, claiming that Hemingway affirms the position of the white American by either misrepresenting African Americans in his fiction, or by excluding them entirely. This paper expands upon readings of The Sun Also Rises to illuminate moments of racial acknowledgment, particularly where they converge with themes of sexuality. In doing so, I aim to bring to light race as a noteworthy and nuanced theme in a text that otherwise feels merely reductive with respect to race.

Abstract:The Sun Also Rises contains troubling depictions of African-American characters framed by a vile racial epithet. Although critics have addressed this topic using the familiar contexts of Hemingway’s life, his iceberg theory, or intertextuality, this article argues that a fluid, combinatory context is necessary in the twenty-first century classroom. Acknowledging Toni Morrison’s important intervention in Playing in the Dark, this essay seeks neither to dismiss or ignore the novel’s racist content nor to banish the novel from the canon, but rather to engage the novel in a complex ongoing dialogue about race and racism in American culture and literature.

Elena Zolotariov
Abstract:This essay examines how Ernest Hemingway’s The Torrents of Spring satirizes the primitivist movement and subverts racial, national and gender stereotypes in his depiction of White Americans and Native Americans. It argues that Hemingway challenges the purported supremacy of Whiteness and stability of a normative national identity, while also undercutting generalized assumptions about Native Americans. It moreover probes the connection between David Garnett’s A Man in the Zoo and Hemingway’s novella to show Hemingway’s early inversions of the male gaze in relation to performances of manhood and Whiteness. It concludes that The Torrents of Spring is not a simple parody of the primitivist movement, but a complex and nuanced satire that reflects the author’s early engagement with the formation and subversion of dominant ideas about national identity in the modernist era.
