Ernest Hemingway traveled and lived much in other lands. His writing depicts characters from these places, particularly England, France, Spain, Italy, and Cuba. Regardless, he usually brings America and Americans to the fore, studying other nations to define his own. Similarly, his writings with American settings explore domestic attitudes toward other nationalities and cultures. The boy who grew up in Oak Park, Illinois, became increasingly aware of America the melting pot. As a result, though not always sufficiently credited, race, ethnicity, and nationality constitute central subjects of inquiry and development, often critical ones, across the Hemingway canon. The Hemingway session at the 2008 meeting of the South Atlantic Modern Language Association will focus on the place and scope of "otherness" in the published writing of Ernest Hemingway--his journalism, poetry, fiction, essays. Please send abstracts of about 250 words by 1 March 2008. to Professor Joseph M.
