Bøger af John Tofik Karam

At the border where Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina meet under the scrutiny of the US and Mercosur (the large South American trade bloc), Arabs have long been agents of what author John Tofik Karam calls a "manifold destiny". In this, Karam casts Arab communities in Latin America as circumstantial protagonists of a hemispheric saga.

Offering a different approach to the study of ethnicity in the neoliberal market, this work focuses on the Arabs in Brazil. It examines how Brazilians of Syrian-Lebanese descent have gained greater visibility and prominence as the country has embraced its globalizing economy, particularly its relations with Arab Gulf nations.
