Between Empires: Martí, Rizal, and the Intercolonial Alliance (New Caribbean Studies) (Paperback)
In 1898, both Cuba and the Philippines achieved their independence from Spain and then immediately became targets of US expansionism. This book presents a comparative analysis of late-nineteenth-century literature and history in Cuba and the Philippines, focusing on the writings of Jos Mart and Jos Rizal to reveal shared anti-imperial struggles.
