Martí, anarquistas y lectura en Cuba

Abstract

The practice of reading out-loud in tobacco factories on the island of Cuba and the Florida peninsula increased the circulation of libertarian ideas in the area of the Caribbean and it fomented an approach to and conjunction with José Martí’s independentist movement. This article analyzes this practice, linked to the continuous movement of the ideological and political struggle of Iberian anarchist militants who emigrated into the last Spanish colony and to places in the U.S. This practice was also related to the formation of a political culture and social networks that supported Martí’s cause by means of the organization of cultural clubs associated with the Cuban Revolutionary Party.
