Pensamiento anticolonial de nuestra América
Aunque aparecen abordados desde flancos distintos, los temas que configuran la obra ensayística de Fernández Retamar confluyen todos, directa o indirectamente, en uno solo, que yo caracterizaría como el de la lucha contra la razón colonial que hace medio milenio Europasembró en esta ribera del Atlántico para perpetuar su dominio ad infinitum . Dominio que acabó por tener que transferir a los Estados Unidos –o mejor sea decir, estos le arrebataron…

Martí in His (Third) World
This essay on Cuba's national poet, José Martí, written originally in the early 1960s for a non-Cuban audience in the wake of the victory of the Cuban Revolution, acquires a new context with the neo-imperialism of the Bush regime and the recent resurgence of the Latin American Left. Martí was one of the first thinkers of revolutionary anticolonial struggle, and in that sense it is legitimate to see him as the main ideological inspiration of the C…

The Enormity of Cuba
The American power structure's current imaginative vacuum-the bankrupting of American mythological image production capacityis unparalleled in U.S. history. ... But let resistance write its own geography. ... [I]n the early 1990s, when all transformations disappoint and nothing seems to really end, the need to historicize remains as great as ever. -Christopher L. Connery, Pacific Rim Discourse: The U.S. Global Imaginary in the Late Cold War Years
Caliban Speaks Five Hundred Years Later
La decouverte des Ameriques n'a fait qu'initier un processus d'occidentalisation et d'exhibition d'un capitalisme devastateur qui se poursuit aujourd'hui et que denonce l'A. en montrant que le discours de Caliban au XV e siecle reste d'actualite.

Our America and the West
As in other attempts to come to terms with names, precise definition of and its historical parameters leads to search for a name that represents it better, making us more conscious of what are trying to understand. The almost endless succession of names coined for reveal not only indecision but also geographical and historical expansion of its compass. We might even say that we're dealing here with an expanding concept.' A first formulation can b…
