This brief volume is an eloquent statement on the meaning of Jose
Marti's thought as well as on how his thought has been harnessed to
the needs of ideology in present-day Cuba. Hence, Jose Marti, the
United States, and the Marxist Interpretation of Cuban History
should quite properly be viewed as a contribution to the sociology
of knowledge, and the political processing of the
literature.Professor Ripoll's volume gives special attention to
Marti's writings on the United States: without sparing the
colonialist and annexationist currents of the times, Marti in his
writing demonstrated a full and balanced sense of pluralist
currents in the United States.The author sees Marti, in his desire
for redemption, as a truer socialist and revolutionary than those
who seek to cloak themselves in his words. Because Marti believed
freedom to be indispensable for the advancement of society, efforts
to hitch Marti to a single ideological post are considered futile.
