José Martí's Our America shows the perspective of an educated and humanly compassionate Latino. He understands that although America has acted superior because of their education or politics, that the feeling of inferiority is ultimately up to Latinos to keep or not. Race is a perception depending on on how everyone views it. Not realizing that we are all equal will be the cause of endless struggles amongst America and neighboring countries.
I enjoyed reading an article written so long ago that is still so pertinent to current days. Th ideas people have of separation among one another depending on a variety of factors, is still a very prominent subject today.
