Annotation
Aims to debunk Michaels’s treatise as a tautological argument that circumvents its thesis about modernism and race. Briefly comments on major modernist authors and their treatment of race, including Hemingway’s Cohn in The Sun Also Rises. See Michaels’s Our America: Nativism, Modernism, and Pluralism, 94-109. Durham, NC: Duke University Press, 1995.
