José Martí: Building A Revolutionary Movement For Independence - PopularResistance.Org Jose Martí’s revolutionary consciousness did not emerge in a vacuum; it was forged in the harsh crucible of colonial Cuba. Born in Havana to a Spanish artillery sergeant and a Canary Islands native, he witnessed from his earliest years the brutal contradictions of the slave-owning colony. His humble family moved from the city to the countryside, where the young Martí saw firsthand the inhumanity of the plantation system. This direct, visceral exposure to the violence of chattel slavery planted the seeds of his lifelong, uncompromising abolitionism. https://popularresistance.org/jose-marti-building-a-revolutionary-movement-for-independence/
