Annotation

Examines the linguistic use of the words Papa, papa, and papá in Cuba and Key West after 1930 within the context of Hemingway’s proficiency with the Spanish language. Herlihy-Mera addresses the powerful and conflicting paternalist notions of identity associated with the nickname, and the resistance by some Cubans to embrace an “outsider” with such a designation.
