SANCHEZ AGUILERA, Osmar. Ariel against the light of Cuba and Martí. Latinoamérica [online]. 2018, n.66, pp.115-143. ISSN 2448-6914.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cialc.24486914e.2018.66.57039.

This paper is intended to demonstrate that the most famous essay written by José Enrique Rodó has among its most noticeable roots the Cuban ones. This both in its political and cultural sides, as well as in its contents and circulation. The corpus of letters exchanged between the Uruguayan writer and his Cuban peers offers plenty of proofs about this. Special place among these is the influence of José Martí, mainly, maybe, his essay “Our America”.
