In El Lector, Araceli Tinajero deftly traces the evolution of the reader from nineteenth-century Cuba to the present and its eventual dissemination to Tampa, Key West, Puerto Rico, and Mexico. In interviews with present-day and retired readers, she records testimonies that otherwise would have been lost forever, creating a valuable archive for future historians. Through a close examination of journals, newspapers, and personal interviews, Tinajero relates how the reading was organized, how the readers and readings were selected, and how the process affected the relationship between workers and factory owners. Because of the reader, cigar factory workers were far more cultured and in touch with the political currents of the day than other workers. But it was not only the reading material, which provided political and literary information that yielded self-education, that influenced the workers; the act of being read to increased the discipline and timing of the artisan's job.LLILAS Translations from Latin America series.Oral readingTobacco industryCubaHistoryTobacco workersCubaHistoryTobacco industryPuerto RicoHistoryTobacco workersPuerto RicoHistoryTobacco industryUnited StatesHistoryTobacco workersUnited StatesHistoryOral reading.Tobacco industryHistory.Tobacco workersHistory.Tobacco industryHistory.Tobacco workersHistory.Tobacco industryHistory.Tobacco workersHistory.306.4/88Tinajero Araceli1962-1227602MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826908003321El lector4045433UNINA
