Available for the first time in English-and now published with new material-Ramos's study not only offers an analysis of the complex relationships between history, literature, and nation-building in the modern Latin American context but also takes crucial steps toward the development of a truly comparative inter-American cultural criticism.\u003cbr\u003eWith his focus on the nineteenth century, Ramos begins his genealogy of an emerging Latin Americanism with an examination of Argentinean Domingo Sarmiento and Chilean Andr s Bello, representing the \"enlightened \u003ci\u003eletrados\u003c\/i\u003e\" of tradition. In contrast to these \"lettered men,\" he turns to Cuban journalist, revolutionary, and poet Jos  Mart , who, Ramos suggests, inaugurated a new kind of intellectual subject for the Americas. Though tracing Latin American modernity in general, it is the analysis of Mart -particularly his work in the United States-that becomes the focal point of Ramos's study. Mart 's confrontation with the unequal modernization of the New World, the dependent status of Latin America, and the contrast between Latin America's culture of elites and the northern mass culture of commodification are, for Ramos, key elements in understanding the complex Latin American experience of modernity.\u003cbr\u003eIncluding two new chapters written for this edition, as well as translations of three of Mart 's most important works, \u003ci\u003eDivergent Modernities\u003c\/i\u003e will be indispensable for anyone seeking to understand development and modernity across the Americas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julio Ramos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/22\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 5.66w x 0.93d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822319900\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2002 pg. 887\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJulio Ramos is Professor of Spanish and Portuguese, University of California at Berkeley.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Duke University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40198555172979,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_c5a8aa81-fb17-4eeb-8a71-7a4c387c7cda.jpg?v=1656078634","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/divergent-modernities-culture-and-politics-in-nineteenth-century-latin-america-9780822319900","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
