José Martí is a Cuban national hero and is an important figure in Latin American Literature.
José Martí spent most of life fighting for Cuban’s independence. While he is fighting for the country’s independence he helped the people out as well by trying to unite and reconciling them.
The new America that José Martí is talking about in "Nuestra América” is the Latin American countries. Which was written about the conflict of Cuba wanting to be independent and not apart of North America.
The problem with the universities in America is that they produce governors but those governors do not know the key components to the different countries. The universities do not teach the basic principals of the art of government.
Martí says that the young governors go out and wear a yankee or french spectacles and hope to solve problems. Whoever is governing must not brush aside any part of the truth to the country because otherwise they would be doomed to fail.
Uncultured will govern because it is their habit to attack and resolve doubts where the cultured has failed because they do not know the basics of government. Uncultured are lazy and timid and want to be governed well, but if the government is bad they will end up governing themselves.
