The Myth of Jose Marti by Lillian Guerra
Lillian Guerra argues that political violence and competing interpretations of the social unity proposed by Cuba's revolutionary patriot, Jose Marti, reveal conflicting visions of the nation - visions that differ in their ideological radicalism and in how they cast Cuba's relationship with the United States.
"An incisive look into the competing national projects that emerged out of the Cuban war of independence of 1895 and how they shaped the politics of race, class, and, to some degree, gender during the early decades of the republic" - Alejandro de la Fuente, author of A Nation for All: Race, Inequality, and Politics in Twentieth-Century Cuba"
Lillian Guerra is assistant professor of Caribbean history at Yale University. She is author of Popular Expression and National Identity in Puerto Rico: The Struggle for Self, Community, and Nation, 1898-1940 as well as two books of Spanish-language poetry.
