For Miguel Alvarado, a Costa Rican academician who studies the work of Cuban independence hero Jose Marti, the best tradition of his thoughts is the unity of Our America, a region ranging from Mexico to Chile and Argentina, as that visionary patriot defined.

Latin America is a historic, cultural, political and social reality, and in that perspective, obviously the achievement of its unity is a key moment to reach the real sovereignty, autonomy, and emancipation, Alvarado told Prensa Latina, during an academic event held in this capital.

Consulted about if the founding of ALBA, Petrocaribe, UNASUR, and CELAC has a relationship with what Marti (1853-1895) and Simon Bolivar (1783-1830) stated, the academician said those integration projects of the 21st century are an autonomous response from our peoples, as those heroes desired.

What is happening in Latin America in that sense is how Marti and Bolivar's influence have come into force today.

He stated that interesting political processes such as those of Bolivia and Ecuador are passing through subjectivities, as native and contemporary cultures, which the U.S. Empire left in the invisibility.

Marti was precisely concerned to reveal and recover the dignity of those main men in Our America, the professor of the University of Costa Rica-Venue of the Pacific headquarters, said.

CELAC was emerged during a meeting held on Dec. 2-3, 2011 in Caracas, Venezuela, in the presence of the then President Hugo Chavez, statesmen, and heads of State and Government from other 32 Latin American and Caribbean nations.

CELAC seeks to deep political, economic, social and cultural integration of Latin American and the Caribbean, based on the full respect to democracies and human rights, as Marti's thoughts stated.
