José Martí Reader: Writings on the Americas
“[Martí] added a social agenda to the historic program of national liberation and instantly converted a movement devoted to the establishment of a new nation into a force dedicated to shaping a new society. Martí transformed rebellion into revolution... Like a master weaver, Martí pulled together all the separate threads of Cuban discontent — social, economic, political, racial, historical — and wove them into a radical movement of enormous force.” — Louis A. Pérez Jr, author of José Martí in the United States
“Oh Cuba! ... the blood of Martí was not yours alone; it belonged to an entire race, to an entire continent; it belonged to the powerful youth who have lost probably the best of teachers; he belonged to the future!” — Rubén Darío
This new edition of an elegant anthology features bilingual poetry, a revised translation, and several new pieces. It presents the full breadth of José Martí’s work: his political essays and writings on culture, his letters, and his poetry. Readers will discover a literary genius and an insightful political commentator on troubled US-Latin America relations.
