"This is the second of a three-volume comprehensive collection of the writings of José Martí. The first volume concentrated on the United States; this volume focuses on "Nuestra América," the Latin American Martí fought to make free. In the essays collected here, Martí weaves together a clear picture of the development of the Cuban liberation movement with a brilliant analysis of Latin American history and culture. As in the first Volume, "Inside the Monster: Writings on the United States and American Imperialism," here too Martí makes it clear that the problem in Latin America has been twofold: both to achieve independence from Spain and to prevent a new domination by the merging imperialist United States."
