Role

Team Member Name

Rosa Ybarra, born in Cuba, wealthy daughter of cigar factory owner.



Guillermo Gonzalez, Cuban-American factory worker of African descent. Active in Cuban nationalist movement and trade union organizing.



Hector Villareal, Cuban-American Lector at cigar factory.

Aleara Taylor

Watson Wilson, Irish-American investor in cigar factory.



Gloria Cabrera, Cuban-American factory worker with several children, worried about job security.



The Scenario

The Ybarra Cigar Factory has been the backbone of economic and cultural life in Ybarra, Florida. Recently, there has been a great deal of turmoil at the factory. Factory management is concerned about revolutionary and unionizing activity among the workers, and wants to eliminate the position of “lector,” a worker who reads to others while they roll cigars. Management also wants workers to continue working long hours, six days a week, at the current pay rate, while workers are demanding a shift to five-day work weeks and overtime pay for days that exceed eight hours. All stakeholders are scheduled to hold a meeting to discuss the conflict.

About the lector: The lector held a role unique to cigar factories. This tradition was rooted in the factories of Cuba, and traveled to the United States as part of the wave of Cuban immigrants. Traditionally, the lector was a well-dressed man in a Panama hat who sat on a raised platform and read to workers as they rolled cigars. Workers would request works by favorite authors, such as Cervantes and Victor Hugo, as well as news and revolutionary writing, such as works by Karl Marx. The lector was generally an educated man who spoke several languages.

Consider the conditions in China during Mao Zedong’s rule (1949 to 1976) and after his rule (1976 to the present). Compare and c
Sindrei [870]

During the Cultural Revolution, Mao closed down all schools and appealed to the youth to help spread his communist ideas. There were confrontations between Mao’s Red Guards and local police, thus threatening another civil war. The Red Guards started oppressing the intellectuals, who were believed to hold anti-communist views. After Mao, Deng Xiaoping came to power and started focusing on agriculture. He put an end to farmer co-ops. Farmers began cultivating land privately, and agricultural profits increased. Job opportunities increased and people started migrating from rural areas to cities. Deng appealed to the youth to go abroad for higher education. He encouraged foreign countries to do business in China. As a result, China’s economy started growing rapidly.
