adminZimbabwe: Notes on the United States of America
FACED with a sub-region that grappled with the challenges of surviving under the shadow of a predatory empire; faced with a people who visualised their futures in terms of a powerful, rapacious northern empire they envied so unconditionally, so irrationally, Jose Marti, the founder of revolutionary Cuba, created a column in a US-based newspaper dedicated to Latino affairs.
The newspaper was called “Patria”.
His column was simply entitled “Notes on the United States”.
The column reprinted articles from early United States of America, articles clearly showing that far from enjoying innate virtue and glory, innate greatness, the United States of America – that land of invading immigrants, of “genocideres” – had in fact started off with more than a fair share of rejects, rogues and scoundrels, with more than fair share in murderers and thieves, more than ever existed or could ever exist in the Americas.
