American writer Ernest Hemingway lived in and visited many places. While much has been written about the author’s exploits in Paris, Key West, Cuba, Spain, Italy, and Michigan, there has yet to be a full treatment of Hemingway’s connection to the American West. Starting in 1928, and lasting until his death in 1961, Hemingway traveled out West to what he called “good country”.

This special issue of The Hemingway Review aims to deepen the conversation about Hemingway, Blackness, and Whiteness. Recognizing Hemingway was taught and expected to perform White Supremacy and Privilege, we call on scholars to demonstrate ways to identify and make meaning of racism and anti-racism in Hemingway’s work.
