Description
A nationalist campaigner, civil rights advocate, diplomat, lecturer and orator, journalist, poet, author of childrenâ?Ts stories, visionary champion of anti-colonial Latin American and Caribbean thought, all are expressions of JosAc MartA-â?Ts (1853â?"95) extraordinary life in fighting for Cubaâ?Ts definitive independence. This work opens a new path in studies of MartA-'s efforts to build a modern democratic Cuba by widening the lens under which the Cuban hero has been examined. In joining these different facets of MartA- and by going beyond the national and hemispheric, GarcA-a de la Torre introduces the largely ignored global influences and dimensions that marked the revolutionaryâ?Ts work and ideas. From MartA-â?Ts global histories for children to his adaptation of Hindu and Eastern conceptions, through a juxtaposition of The Bhagavad-Gita, to his relationships and inspirations from the African diaspora to the US Civil War and Ulysses S. Grant, GarcA-a de la Torre vividly reveals the global origins of MartA-â?Ts ideas regarding governance, citizenship, independence and spirituality. In bridging the familiar and the individual with larger global patterns and processes of the late nineteenth century, JosAc MartA- and the Global Origins of Cuban Independence gives birth to a modern Cuba understood from a truly global perspective.
