{"product_id":"9780791482469","title":"Between Argentines and Arabs: Argentine Orientalism, Arab Immigrants, and the Writing of Identity","description":"Between Argentines and Arabs is a groundbreaking contribution to two growing fields: the study of immigrants and minorities in Latin America and the study of the Arab diaspora. As a literary and cultural study, this book examines the textual dialogue between Argentines of European descent and Arab immigrants to Argentina from the mid-1800s to the mid-1900s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing methods drawn from literary analysis and cultural studies, Christina Civantos shows that the Arab presence is twofold: \"the Arab\" and \"the Orient\" are an imagined figure and space within the texts produced by Euro-Argentine intellectuals; and immigrants from the Arab world are an actual community, producing their own texts within the multiethnic Argentine nation. This book is both a literary history-of Argentine Orientalist literature and Arab-Argentine immigrant literature-and a critical analysis of how the formation of identities in these two bodies of work is interconnected.","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47067650064624,"sku":"9780791482469","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780791482469_p0.jpg?v=1763667382","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780791482469","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
