This collection of essays is dedicated to the memory and work of the distinguished Hispanicist Ivan A. Schulman (Brooklyn, New York, 1931 – San Juan, Puerto Rico, 2020). Schulman belonged to a generation of researchers whose critical and theoretical contribution was of greatest importance in modernizing Latin American literary studies. The legacy of the New York researcher is as valuable as it is necessary to continue updating, advancing, and innovating knowledge of the work of José Martí, modernism and Cuban studies. These are the three pillars of this collection of thirteen essays by renowned researchers from various disciplines and academic and cultural institutions in Spain and America.
The volume begins with “José Martí.” His revolutionary writing and thought were foundational for the letters, arts and cultures of Cuba and the Americas, as the essays gathered in this section demonstrate. The essays in the “Modernism(s)” section address the plurality, diversity, and literary and cultural vitality of an era, whose critical (re)evaluation still continues to impact the study of the historiography and literary currents of Latin America. The triad of the volume closes with a set of essays under the title “Cuban Studies”—a key area of Hispanic literary and cultural studies of our time.
