Abstract
SALADINO GARCIA, Alberto. El latinoamericanismo de José Martí. Latinoamérica [online]. 2005, n.41, pp.149-167. ISSN 2448-6914.
Because of his gnoseological as well as his vindicative interests, one of the main contributions of José Martí is his latinoamericanism, which became his principle and reason to live. He embodied latinoamericanism as libertarian, and he based his theories by means of recovering our past and with strict knowledge of reality, to make mental independence possible and to back up the unity of the countries of the region. His humanistic attitude was evident as he promoted the use of scientific and technical advances. Notable on his latinoamericanist praxis are his actions to make the Bolivarian ideal come true, the solution alternatives with the exploration of knowledge advances and his devotion to the service of liberation.
In other words, he gave a new meaning to latinoamericanism, which he made popular with the expression “Our America.”
