Download or read book Jose Marti: An Introduction written by O. Montero and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2004-04-30 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jose Marti, Cuban national hero, was one of Latin America's most influential litereary and political figures. There is currently no introductory overview to his complex body of works. Jose Marti: An Introduction offers such an introduction to Marti's most pertinent, enduring ideas, exploring his writing on race, gender, the relationship between Cuba and the US, 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.
