Arabs have left a permanent imprint on Brazil: from the Moorish legacy of Muslim Iberia, transmitted by Portuguese settlers; to waves of Arab immigrants since the late nineteenth century; to the prominence today of Brazilians of Arab descent. The first book of its kind, Arab Brazil: Fictions of Ternary Orientalism explores representations of Arab and Muslim immigrants in Brazilian literature and popular culture since the early twentieth century.
