This collection of essays addresses various aspects of Arab and
Jewish immigration and acculturation in Latin America. The
experiences in the region of these two groups have never been the
subject of joint and comprehensive scrutiny. The volume examines
how the Latin American elites who were keen to change their
countries' ethnic mix felt threatened by the arrival of Arabs and
Jews. Their arrival was largely unexpected, and in some cases
frankly undesired and practically banned.
Negotiating national identity was never easy, and many of this
volume's multidisciplinary cast of authors examine discrimination
and prejudice as a component of Arab and Jewish life in the region.
These cultural, economic and political (public) negotiations left
neither side unchanged: while Latin American society and
post-migratory immigrant identities have been in a constant state
of flux, the elite's desired homogenization of national or cultural
identity has been precluded to this day.
