This engaging work blends wisdom and drama, at times reading like a telenovela and others like a detective chronicle. June Carolyn Erlick, Harvard UniversityIn the 1970s and 80s, while ABC, NBC, and CBS were battling for every screen in America, a Mexican family, together with a shrewd American operator, was quietly building the foundations of a media empire.

Nuestra América es uno de los textos más emblemáticos del pensamiento latinoamericano, escrito por José Martí y publicado en 1891. En este ensayo visionario, Martí llama a los pueblos de América Latina a reconocerse desde su propia identidad, libre de las imitaciones culturales y politicas de Europa y Estados Unidos. Con un lenguaje poetico, apasionado y profundamente humanista, el autor exhorta a construir una America autentica, basada en su historia, su mestizaje y su espiritu propio. Marti denuncia el peligro del imperialismo norteamericano y la persistencia de las elites criollas que desprecian las raices indigenas y populares. Frente a ello, propone una unidad continental fundada en el conocimiento del pueblo, la justicia social y el respeto por la diversidad. El ensayo defiende que el verdadero gobierno debe surgir del alma y las necesidades del pais, no de modelos extranjeros. Mas que un texto politico, Nuestra America es una declaracion cultural y moral sobre la dignidad y la independencia intelectual del continente. Su mensaje sigue vigente como manifiesto de identidad latinoamericana, simbolo de la integracion, la libertad y la conciencia nacional frente a cualquier forma de dominacion.
