Annotation

Translating Empire reveals how late nineteenth-century Latino migrant writers developed a prescient critique of U.S. imperialism: a critique that prefigures many of the concerns??????about empire, race, and postcolonial subjectivity??????animating American studies today. During the 1880s and early 1890s, the Cuban journalist, poet, and revolutionary Jos???? Mart???? and other Latino migrants living in New York City translated North American literary and cultural texts into Spanish. Laura Lomas reads the canonical literature and popular culture of the Gilded Age United States through the eyes of Mart???? and his fellow editors, activists, orators, and poets. She shows how, in the process of translating Anglo American culture into a Latino American idiom, the Latino migrant writers invented a new modernist aesthetics to criticize U.S. expansionism and expose Anglo stereotypes of Latin Americans.
