| Sumario: | The quest for a genuinely Latin American identity was central to the continent’s independence movements and led to one of the most striking entanglements of identitarian discourses and nature narratives in the history of the Americas, namely the seminal essay "Nuestra América" by José Martí. This article argues that "Nuestra América" should be understood as a vital example of decolonial, ecocritical knowledge production from the South, and examines how the essay conceptualises nature as a narrative that contests the anthropocentric, colonial exploitation of the environment and fosters a planetary vision of the human. |
