  • Summary

    The ‘extended Caribbean’ provides a trans-American framework for linking José Martí and José Rizal at the Atlantic and Pacific ends, geographic and temporal, of the Spanish Empire, marking one possible moment of Caribbean literature in transition. This essay focuses on how each of these artist-activists uses translation of Spanish and English, as two of the colonial languages of the Atlantic and Pacific empires, in order to reveal the parallels between the two figures and their respective nationalist struggles during the 1890s. Put another way, the essay explores how far we can stretch the ‘Caribbean’ to account for the trans-global anticolonial imagination in the disappearing Spanish Empire of this time.
