José Martí, "My Race"

  1. "Cubans are more than whites, mulattos or Negros," writes Martí. What does he mean?

  2. "Whites who say 'my race' commit the sin of redundancy; so do Negros who say the same." Please explain the statement.

  3. Do you think there are any outside factors that determine Martí's perspective on race?

  4. How do you think Martí would fare in current contemporary multicultural debates on race and ethnicity?
