A poet, essayist, orator, statesman, abolitionist, and the martyred revolutionary leader of Cuba's fight for independence from Spain, Martí lived in exile in New York for most of his adult life, earning his living as a foreign correspondent. Throughout the 1880s and early 1890s, Martí's were the eyes through which much of Latin America saw the United States. His impassioned, kaleidoscopic evocations of that period in U.S. history, the assassination of James Garfield, the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge, the execution of the Chicago anarchists, the lynching of the Italians in New Orleans, and much more, bring it rushing back to life.”   To read more and/or buy the book go to: http://amzn.com/0142437042       Also visit www.HavanaNewYork.com your guide to Cuban music & more…   > Music > Dancing > Concerts > Nightclubs > Restaurants > Special Events   Check out our Photos & Videos sections where we have a collection of snapshots & video clips taken at our many events throughout the year.  We also have our event and concert posters on view.   Check out the New York Cuban bands CDs: Click Here   Remember to visit us on: FaceBook: www.facebook.com/havananewyork MySpace: www.myspace.com/havananewyork YouTube: www.youtube.com/havananewyork Twitter: www.twitter.com/havananewyork
