“[Ernest Hemingway] worried that if the United States did not ‘learn to understand the world and appreciate the rights, privileges and duties of all other countries and peoples,’ it could easily represent the same danger to ternest-hemingway-cuba-1946he world that Fascism did’ and become the most hated country in the world. In order to be just and to exercise it’s power in a responsible way, America needed to avoid self-righteousness and learn to understand and respect the nations of the world. Having lived outside of the United States for most of his adult life, Hemingway could easily see how American actions and attitudes could antagonize other countries in the postwar world.”
