About the author
Born near Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, in 1839, Eugenio María de Hostos became one of the Caribbean’s most influential public thinkers. He studied in Spain, where he grew active in republican politics and began arguing for self-government in Puerto Rico and Cuba.
Over the course of his life, he worked as an educator, essayist, philosopher, and advocate for Antillean unity. He lived and taught in several countries, including the Dominican Republic, Chile, Peru, and Venezuela, and he became especially respected for his ideas about modern education, moral development, and civic life.
Hostos died in Santo Domingo in 1903, but his legacy has remained strong in Puerto Rico and across Latin America. He is remembered not only for his writing and political thought, but also for the practical reforms he supported in schools and public life.
