_Lo árabe y su doble: imaginarios de principios de siglo en México y Honduras (The Arab and his double: turn-of-the-century imaginaries in Mexico and Honduras)

Description

This paper explores the construction and dual representation of Arab identity in early 20th-century Mexico and Honduras. Through an analysis of cultural imaginaries, literary texts, and historical narratives, it examines how Arab immigrants and their descendants were simultaneously exoticized and marginalized. The study highlights the ambivalent positioning of Arab identity—both admired for its perceived entrepreneurial spirit and cast as an “other” within national discourses. By comparing the Mexican and Honduran contexts, the paper reveals shared patterns of representation as well as local particularities, shedding light on broader processes of identity formation, migration, and cultural hybridity in Latin America.
