Zusammenfassung:
Arab-Brazilian relations have been largely invisible to area studies and comparative literature scholarship. 'Arab Brazil' is the first book of its kind to highlight the representation of Arab and Muslim immigrants in Brazilian literature and popular culture since the early twentieth century, revealing anxieties and contradictions in the country's ideologies of national identity. Author Wal S. Hassan analyzes these representations in a century of Brazilian novels, short stories, and telenovelas.
