Description

"This book makes a seminal contribution by putting Arabs on the map of Brazilian studies. Truzzi's attention to historical and sociological detail is impeccable in the mercantile trajectories of Syrian and Lebanese immigrants. The prose flows, the small vignettes are memorable, and the occasional statistic priceless."--John Tofik Karam, author of Another Arabesque: Syrian-Lebanese Ethnicity in Neoliberal Brazil
 
"Syrian and Lebanese Patrícios in São Paulo tackles classic themes in immigration studies. With a focus on different forms of labor integration including peddling, shop ownership, and industrial entrepreneurship, Oswaldo Truzzi provides new perspectives for analyzing ethnicity in Latin America."--Jeffrey Lesser, author of Immigration, Ethnicity, and National Identity in Brazil, 1808 to the Present
