A Posthumous History of José Martí: The Apostle and His Afterlife delves into the profound impact and enduring legacy of José Martí on subsequent generations of Cubans, both on the island and in exile. Spanning over a century since his tragic demise on a Cuban battlefield in 1895, Martí's studies have been the subject of intense ideological contention, with opposing factions vying for ownership of his words and image. The Cuban nation-state, recognizing Martí as a vital source of inspiration for its Marxist revolutionary government, and diasporic communities in the United States, who view him as a symbol of hope for the Cuban nation-in-exile, firmly assert the centrality of his ideas and persona in shaping their respective visions of Cuban nationhood.
Furthermore, this book delves into recent scholarship that has reassessed Martí's literary, cultural, and ideological significance, expanding our understanding of him beyond the confines of the Havana-Miami axis and engaging with a broader historical and geographical landscape. As a result, Martí has transcended the confines of his mutually reinforcing cults in Cuba and the diaspora, emerging as a true hemispheric and global writer and thinker.
In conclusion, A Posthumous History of José Martí: The Apostle and His Afterlife offers a comprehensive exploration of Martí's life, work, and enduring influence, shedding light on his role as a catalyst for change and a symbol of national identity. Through its examination of his posthumous legacy and the ongoing ideological battles surrounding him, the book provides valuable insights into the complex and multifaceted nature of Cuban history and culture.
