| dc.description.abstract | The session will focus on founding and early development of Tampa’s two cigar manufacturing Latin enclaves, Ybor City and West Tampa. The specific topics to be covered include the process by which Vicente Martinez Ybor and Ignacio Haya selected Tampa as the new home for their cigar manufacturing operations, the efforts by Tampa’s Anglo-led Board of Trade to entice them to Tampa, and the early clashes between the mostly Cuban workforce and the Anglo and Spanish business leadership. Special attention will be paid to the similarities and differences between Ybor City and the City of West Tampa as well as the role that the cigar industry’s Cuban labor force played in the War of Cuban Independence. Other themes, which will be explored in more depth in subsequent sessions, will include the role of race, sex, and class in the early years of Ybor City and West Tampa as well as labor problems and vigilante enforcement of local laws and mores. | en_US |
