Review is published by Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, in association with The City College of New York, CUNY, Department of Classical and Modern Languages & Literatures.  

Review 99, guest-edited by Waïl Hassan (University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign), explores the topic of Arab Latin America. The issue opens with Hassan’s introduction, followed by critical essays by leading scholars on emblematic topics—Arab themes in José Martí’s Oriente; Juan José Saer as an Arab Argentine writer; human-animal entanglements in Marcelo Maluf’s fiction; and Palestinian Chilean cinema—as well as fiction, poetry, creative essays, crônicas, and interviews featuring writers hailing from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru who are descendants of immigrants from Lebanon, Palestine and Syria. In addition to those represented in this event, the roster includes authors Esther Andradi, Jeannette Clariond, Luis Fayad, Mamede Mustafa Jarouche, Alberto Mussa, Alonso Rabí-do-Carmo, Waly Salomão, and cover-artist Hilal Sami Hilal. Together, their contributions address themes not only particular to Arab Latin America but to universal culture—relating to identity, language, community, and exile. The issue includes feature-pieces as well as reviews of the films Christian Palestine in Chile, directed by Heba El Attar, and Khalil Gibran’s The Prophet, produced by Salma Hayek; and book reviews of new titles, among them, Christina Civantos’s The Afterlife of al-Andalus.
