Sobre este artículo
Tampa, Florida: University of Tampa Press, (2006). First Edition, stated. Quarto, gold cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, 466 pp. Very Good in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: Ybor City stands today as a beacon of history, culture, and legend. In a state primarily known for tourism and citrus, it is a sparkling anomaly: a factory town built by immigrants with an architecture, culture, cuisine, and industry pulsing with distinctive Latin flavor found nowhere else in the world. Here is the largest collection of historic cigar factory buildings and social clubs in the world -- most of them built of warm, red brick. And like many factory towns in the late twentieth century, it fell upon desperately hard times and was nearly lost. The story of its founding and growth is a history of the Spanish, Cuban, Italian, German, and Romanian immigrants who were the workers and the visionaries behind its success. The story of its rebirth as a National Landmark town is something of a modern miracle. Along the way we encounter dazzling personalities: Vincente Martinez Ybor, Ignacio Haya, Jose Marti, Paullina Pedroso, Casimiro Hernandez, and many more. From its international reputation for ine cigars to its world-famous cuisine at the Columbia Restaurant, Ybor City is a memorable and fascinating place that helped put Florida on the map..
