Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the question of race relations in the United States and in Spanish America. The author, a lawyer and poet from Cuba, offers a keen and active observer's perspective on the subject. The author has lived in both the United States and Cuba and has had the opportunity to observe the different ways in which race is perceived in each country. He argues that the black man in the United States has no personality, and indeed no existence at all, in relation to the life of the white man. However, the black man is obliged to put forth efforts that result in positive evidence of his collective capacity. The book presents a unique perspective on the issue of race and offers insights into the different ways that race is experienced in different parts of the world. The author contends that the black man, whether in the United States or in Spanish America is seeking an identity, a collective personality that will enable him to take his rightful place in society. The author's observations provide a valuable contribution to the ongoing discussion of race and identity.
