Libros de Historia de los países de América, página 48 de 214

Esta obra comprende fundamentalmente una serie de estudios consagrados a la inmigración árabe en América Latina desde la segunda mitad del siglo XIX y durante el siglo XX. Procedentes del Líbano, Siria y Palestina, los inmigrantes arabes, pese a su menor importancia numerica, en comparacion con la de los españoles o los italianos, contribuyeron poderosamente, con su dinamismo, laboriosidad y espiritu de iniciativa, al desarrollo de los paises de adopcion. Descendientes de arabes, tanto de confesion cristiana como musulmana, participan hoy en todos los ambitos de la vida nacional de los distintos paises donde se establecieron sus padres, sus abuelos, o sus bisabuelos y su integracion en las sociedades receptoras puede considerarse, en general lograda. La obra aborda asimismo otros temas relacionados con la literatura de este grupo migratorio, primero, en arabe (adab al-Mahyar) y, posteriormente, en el idioma de los paises de acogida; los intercambios en la esfera de la traduccion de obras literarias del español y el portugues al arabe y viceversa; y, por ultimo, la imagen del mundo arabe en la prensa latinoamericana, analizada a traves de la Guerra del Golfo.
