| dc.description.abstract | Martí’s time in the United States coincided with the aftermath of Reconstruction, a reliving of Civil War events, and a recounting of the efforts of U.S. abolitionists. Martí reported on brutal attacks against former slaves in the South as well as on the success of educated blacks in the North. His accounts described the racial climate of the time and ideas such as Social Darwinism. Challenges faced by poor immigrants from Europe and by Chinese laborers are also part of the picture. In addition, Martí dedicated numerous chronicles to the plight of North American Indians. This presentation will highlight how U.S. race relations influenced Martí’s plans for racial harmony in Cuba and will offer examples of his evolving perspectives on questions of race and ethnicity. A close look at Cuba and the United States in the context of Martí’s life helps to underscore some important differences between the two slave-holding nations. | en_US |
