José Martí Reader

Descripción

This Reader presents an outstanding new anthology of the writings,
poetry and letters of JoséMartí — one of the most brilliant and
impassioned LatinAmerican intellectuals of the 19th century.
Teacher, journalist, revolutionary and poet, José Martí interweaves
the threads of Latin American culture and history, fervently
condemning the brutality and corruption of the Spanish colonizers
as well as the increasingly predatory ambitions of the United States in Latin America. “I have lived in the monster and I know its entrails; my sling is David’s,” Martí wrote shortly before his death.
