About this product

Product Information

An exclusive collection of Jose Marti's writings curated by Cuban author, Nestor Diaz de Villegas, including Marti's thundering accounts of political imprisonment during his teens. English translated title: Jose Marti: The United States in the Prose of an Immigrant, by Jose Marti Jose Marti: Estados Unidos en la Prosa de un Inmigrante is a compilation of fragments from Scenes of North America, as well as writings by Jose Marti for La Opinion Nacional, a newspaper in Caracas, Venezuela, submitted between 1881 and 1886. All of these fragments are set within the historical and social context,to which they belong, and analyzed as literary texts written in Spanish while Marti was living in the United States. Marti chronicled sociopolitical events taking place in the United States at the turn of the 19th century. His writings thus offer detailed analysis of the scientific and technical discoveries taking place at the time, as well as his insights on cultural trends such as fashion, art, and social customs of the time. The historical events described by Marti find striking resonance in issues of the present day. He delves into issues of race, immigration, patriotism, identity, slavery, police and democracy, and even queer aestheticism, as well as providing unfliching observations regarding the figure and performance of the President of the United States and the democratic institutions of his time.
