Crossed Gazes

By Leyla Bartet

The work studies and comments on the cultural relations between South America and the Arab countries, particularly Peru. Starting from the Conquest, which brought with it the contributions of al-Andalus to Spanish culture, to the arrival of the Levantine migratory waves that set foot on American soil in the middle of the 19th century and continued throughout the 20th century. This fruitful contact contributed to American cultural diversity and these immigrants achieved levels of integration that are especially successful in light of what is now happening with migratory movements in Europe and other latitudes. In times of sectarianism, intolerance and various forms of rejection of otherness, it is worthwhile to dwell on these experiences. The author has published numerous books, articles and essays on the subject. One of the most outstanding is "Memorias de Cedro y Olivo" (FECP. Lima 2005 and 2011) partially translated into Arabic and French.
