The essays in this collection reflect two of Marti's key
observations during his time in the United States: first, how did
he, an exile living in New York, view and read his North American
neighbors from a sociocultural, political and literary perspective?
Second, how did his perception of the modern nation impact his own
concepts of race, capital punishment, poetics, and nation building
for Cuba? The overarching endeavor of this project is to view and
read Marti with the same critical or modern eye with which he
viewed and read Spain, Cuba, Latin America and the United States.
This volume, combining many of the most relevant experts in the
field of Marti studies, attempts to answer those questions. It
hopes to broaden the understanding and extend the influence of one
of Americas' (speaking of the collective Americas) most prolific
and important writers, particularly within the very nation where
his chronicles, poetry, and journalism were written. In spite of
the political differences still separating Cuba and the United
States, understanding Marti's relevancy is crucial to bridging the
gap between these nations.
