Cuba's cultural influence throughout the Western Hemisphere, and especially in the United States, has been disproportionally large for so small a country. This landmark volume is the first comprehensive overview of poetry written over the past sixty years. Presented in a beautiful Spanish-English en face edition, The Whole Island makes available the astonishing achievement of a wide range of Cuban poets, including such well-known figures as Nicolás Guillén, José Lezama Lima, and Nancy Morejón, but also poets widely read in Spanish who remain almost unknown to the English-speaking world—among them Fina García Marruz, José Kozer, Raúl Hernández Novás, and Ángel Escobar—and poets ...

Includes entries for maps and atlases.

The preposition ‘for’ could simply be suggestive of a direction: America bound for humanity with humanity being the ultimate objective of a movement in the direction America>Humanity. On the other hand it could just as well refer to rendition, to submission: America offering itself to humanity, precisely in the reverse direction, namely, humanity>America. Those movements are the synthesis of the possible inter-relations between a particular entity, America, and another universal one encompassed by the ideal of humanity and they could configure a peculiar kind of Americanism if we consider them as a set.
