- Annotation
- Criticizes Hemingway s treatment of African American characters in his texts, most specifically the silencing of Wesley from To Have and Have Not. Sees Hemingway s discrimination against the nameless, sexless, nationless Africanist presence as a narrative strategy to establish and confirm the superiority of the novel s white characters, namely Harry and Marie.
