- Annotation
- Compares The Sun Also Rises to Claude McKay s Home to Harlem (1928), arguing that the novels mirroring of each other creates a bilateral intertext of the interwar period. Looks specifically at Hemingway s use of modern primitivism and McKay s use of modernist angst in his novel of black proletarians. Considers how Ralph Ellison s controversial assessment of Hemingway s literary influence sheds light on McKay s position within modernism. Slightly revised version published as Hemingway and McKay, Race and Nation in Hemingway and the Black Renaissance, edited by Gary Edward Holcomb and Charles Scruggs, 133-50. Columbus: Ohio State University Press, 2012.
