Title	Two rivers from the same rain: the ideology of José Martí in the literature of Cubans on the island and in exile
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2009
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	Jos Mart, writer, poet and revolutionary has been given various names, the most widely-used of which are "The Apostle" and "The Master/The Teacher" of Cuban freedom. The interpretation of his works, post-mortum, has resulted in the creation of various beliefs that contradict each other, yet claim their foundation to be in Jos Mart's ideas. Mart's works fundamentally relate to what it means for a country or nation to be free and self-sufficient. This study demonstrates how, with their various and selective interpretations, both Cubans in exile and Cubans on the island, specifically Fidel Castro, are simultaneously living Mart's greatest dream and his worst nightmare. From an outside perspective, with no political motive, this study notes the similarities and contradictions within the ideologies of Jose Marti, Fidel Castro and his followers, and Cubans in exile. This study examines the presence of Jos Mart's ideology within the literature of Cuban authors on the island and in exile. The proximity of the lives of Cubans in exile and on the island to the themes of interest to Mart, such as materialism, socialism, racism, democracy, freedom, nostalgia and political prison is evaluated through the character descriptions, settings, plots and outright references that the literature makes to Marti in order to determine if the river of thought for either of the groups has been nourished by the rain of Mart's ideology. The literature included in the study is limited to works that were written after Fidel Castro came to power in Cuba. The writers included in the study are Cubans that live, or lived, in exile, some in the United States, others in Europe and others that have challenged the restrictions and have written about the Cuban reality from the island. The literature indicates that there is a strong correlation between the topics that were relevant in Mart's time and those that are relevant currently in both the United States and Cuba. Based upon the literature and its comparison to Mart's ideology it is evident that neither of the two groups, neither the Cubans living in exile in the United States, enjoying and perpetuating a materialistic lifestyle, nor Fidel Castro, his brother, Ral and his followers on the island have created rivers that flow from the rain of Mart. Perhaps his ideology nourished their formation, but soon after their creation these rivers began to be nourished by another source.
