One of the most understudied aspects of Jose Marti's life remains his time in the US and how it affected his attitudes toward racial politics. Anne Fountain argues that it was in the US that Martí fully engaged with the spectre of racism. Examining his entire oeuvre rather than just selected portions, Fountain demonstrates the evolution of his thinking on the topic.
