- Annotation
- Considers Cuba s cold war geopolitical landscape in his analysis of The Old Man and the Sea. Miyamoto argues that the divergence between American and Cuban scholarship on the novella reflects Santiago s oscillating and mediating position in the text as both colonizer and colonized, which both enables and disables the U.S. and Cuban readings. Drawing on textual examples, the Hollywood film adaptation, and previous scholarship, Miyamoto argues that The Old Man and the Sea provides a space for literary dialogue between the U.S. and Cuba, albeit in asymmetrical relations of power.
