Jean Price-Mars, the Haitian Elite and the American Occupation, 1915-1935
by Magdaline W. Shannon
Book Description This is a book about the life and many careers of
Dr. Jean Price-Mars, Haiti's most distinguished scholar and considered
by many other world-renowned scholars to be the father of negritude. He
might well have become the President of Haiti but that was not to be. During
the military dictatorships which followed the Duvalier years it was often
said that what Haiti now needed more than ever before was a president with
qualities of Price-Mars.

Jose
Marti: Selected Writings (Penguin Classics)
by Jose Marti, Roberto Gonzalez Echevarria, Esther Allen
Book Description José Martí (1853-1895) is the most renowned political
and literary figure in the history of Cuba. A poet, essayist, orator, statesman,
abolitionist, and the martyred revolutionary leader of Cuba's fight for
independence from Spain, Martí lived in exile in New York for most of
his adult life, earning his living as a foreign correspondent. Throughout
the 1880s and early 1890s, Martí's were the eyes through which much of
Latin America saw the United States. His impassioned, kaleidoscopic evocations
of that period in U.S. history, the assassination of James Garfield, the
opening of the Brooklyn Bridge, the execution of the Chicago anarchists,
the lynching of the Italians in New Orleans, and much more, bring it rushing
back to life.
Organized chronologically, this collection begins with his early writings,
including a thundering account of his political imprisonment in Cuba at
age sixteen. The middle section focuses on his journalism, which offers
an image of the United States in the nineteenth century, its way of life
and system of government, that rivals anything written by de Tocqueville,
Dickens, Trollope, or any other European commentator. Including generous
selections of his poetry and private notebooks, the book concludes with
his astonishing, hallucinatory final masterpiece, "War Diaries", never
before translated into English.
