Jose Marti: An Introduction

Jose Marti, Cuban national hero, was one of Latin America's most influential literary and political figures. This book offers an introduction to Marti's most pertinent, enduring ideas, exploring his writing on race, gender, the relationship between Cuba and the USA, and issues of displacement and bilingualism. The writing is accessible on the undergraduate level, yet Montero does not oversimplify ambiguities and contradictions of Marti's work and life.
