A Posthumous History of José Martí: The Apostle and his Afterlife: Routledge Studies in Latin American and Iberian Literature

Autor Alfred J. López
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 mai 2024
A Posthumous History of José Martí: The Apostle and His Afterlife focuses on Martí’s posthumous legacy and his lasting influence on succeeding generations of Cubans on the island and abroad. Over 120 years after his death on a Cuban battlefield in 1895, Martí studies have long been the contested property of opposing sides in an ongoing ideological battle. Both the Cuban nation-state, which claims Martí as a crucial inspiration for its Marxist revolutionary government, and diasporic communities in the US who honor Martí as a figure of hope for the Cuban nation-in-exile, insist on the centrality of his words and image for their respective visions of Cuban nationhood. The book also explores more recent scholarship that has reassessed Martí’s literary, cultural, and ideological value, allowing us to read him beyond the Havana-Miami axis toward engagement with a broader historical and geographical tableau. Martí has thus begun to outgrow his mutually-reinforcing cults in Cuba and the diaspora, to assume his true significance as a hemispheric and global writer and thinker.

Descriere

The monograph focuses on Martí’s posthumous legacy on generations of Cubans everywhere. It examines roughly 120-year history of posthumous Martí scholarship, recent work in postcolonial and global South studies, to reveal how generations of scholar combatants have used Martí’s words and image for wildly divergent political imperatives
