Abstract

Hassan discusses ways in which Alberto Mussa's work has been instrumental in disseminating Arabic literature in Brazil. He also suggests that Mussa's work offers a paradigm of world literature based on South-South dialogue that does not revolve around western European or U.S. literary canons. Instead, his work contributes directly to an emerging network of relations among the cultures of the Global South that is certain to leave its mark on the twenty-first century.
