The Middle East and Brazil cover

New ties across regions in the Global South

Reveals the historical links between these two world regions, describes the emergence of South-South solidarities, and offers methodologies for the study of transnationalism, global culture, and international relations.

Connections between Brazil and the Middle East have a long history, but the importance of these interactions has been heightened in recent years by the rise of Brazil as a champion of the global south, mass mobilizations in the Arab world and South America, and the cultural renaissance of Afro-descendant Muslims and Arab ethnic identities in the Americas. This groundbreaking collection traces the links between these two regions, describes the emergence of new South-South solidarities, and offers new methodologies for the study of transnationalism, global culture, and international relations.

Truly one-of-a-kind book, this is a must read for students of geopolitics or international affairs, professional or amateur readers of Brazilian studies, and armchair historians alike. The Middle East and Brazil is a crucial study, certain to influence and inform future research on international affairs.
