Summary
Jose Marti, Cuban national hero, was one of Latin America's most influential literary 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 U.S., 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.
