Excerpt from The Color Question in the Two Americas
Had always been seduced by the fantastic tales. Which reached my foreign ears and eyes from the pages of the book of life of the people of the United States. Ever more insinuating, ever more persuasive, that seductiveness caused me to abandon the soil of my beloved Cuba and come to this land of inconceivable potentialities, so as to get a closer view of its greatness and an intimate understanding of its defects. In the following pages I have essayed to set forth, not in the vein of a critic but rather as an apprentice and an oh server, the impressions Which I have received of that phase of American life with which I have been chiefly connected.

Paperback. Zustand: 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.
