Latin American and Arab Literature : Transcontinental Exchanges, Paperback / softback Book

Latin American and Arab Literature : Transcontinental Exchanges Paperback / softback

Part of the Edinburgh Studies in Modern Arabic Literature series

Paperback / softback

Description

Since the 19th century, Arab migration from the Ottoman Empire to Latin America and Latin American travel to the Arab world has created transcontinental routes and in the late 20th century, the translation of Latin American classics into Arabic flourished in the Arab world.

Drawing on Latin American and Arabic novels, travelogues, memoirs, short stories and chronicles from Cuba, Colombia, Mexico, Guatemala, Egypt, Lebanon and Iraq, Tahia Abdel Nasser shows how cultural exchange between Latin America and the Arab world cemented historical and diplomatic ties.

She also explores how a new cadre of men of letters poets, writers and intellectuals shaped Arab Latin American encounters in the late 20th century.
