The Other in Brazilian Literature: Figure of an Immigrant

Stefania Chiarelli ; Universidade Federal Fluminense

Abstract

The article provides a brief panorama of authors in Brazilian literature that treat immigration as a theme. The immigrant Jews, Arabs, Japanese, Italians and Germans arise as dissonant voices in the nation’s discursive web. Establishing parallels and contrasts, the article seeks to think through the relevancy of the narratives’ focus, which present specific angles on national identity.
