En las entrañas del monstruo : Anti-imperialismo e Nacionalismo no processo de independência de Cuba sob a ótica da obra martiana (1868-1898)

Abstract

The present research has as its starting point the analysis of the work of the Cuban intellectual José Martí in the construction of nationalism in Cuba in the process of independence of the island of the Spanish colonial yoke in the late nineteenth century and the fruitful anti-imperialism as an unfolding of this historical construct. For this work we analyze the trajectory of Martí as politician and exiled intellectual, in this process of construction of his ideas. The objective is to link all this monumental work to the ideological bases of Cuban nationalism and to the formation of the concept formulated by him of "Nuestra America", as well as the pioneering of an anti-imperialism directed to the United States that served as a base for several movements in this sense that emerged in the twentieth century. In order to do so, we turn to the voluminous work assembled in several volumes that compose the sources analyzed here to problematize the vicissitudes of the phenomenon of nationalism in the New World.
