Overview
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.

Reviews
Presents a fresh and exciting new conceptualization of Middle East studies which responds to dimensions and dynamics often obscured by more narrowly conceived, geographically or nationally bounded scholarship. By bringing together contributions which span many disciplinary perspectives, the book project provides a uniquely full and balanced view of the processes bridging the regions under study. The transregional approach is innovative and sheds light on both regions. --Camila Pastor de Maria y Campos, CIDE, Mexico--Camila Pastor de Maria y Campos, CIDE, Mexico
