Glimpses the literacy education practices of one third-grade Cuban teacher in a primary school in Havana. Speculates on relationships between Cuban educational practice and the Cuban socioeconomic system, including a historical analysis of Cuban literacy education since 1959. Finds high rote mastery of skills at the expense of creating a critical space in the classroom for dialogue and action. (SR)
