note = "Funding Information: This paper is based on intermittent research over nearly two decades. I thank FEARAB founders in Brazil, specifically Eduardo Elias, Claude Fahd Hajjar, Riad Gattas Cury, Moha- mad Mourad, and Rezkalla Tuma, under whose aegis I started collecting the narratives referenced here in the late 1990s and early 2000s. I continued to locate texts about FEARAB in other parts of the Americas through a travel grant at the University of Florida in Gainesville, in 2004, and a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of California, Berkeley, in 2005, thanks to Nezar AlSayyad, Emily Gottreich, and Paul Losch. After a long hiatus, in 2014, I returned to this line of investigation due to the support of Matt Jaber Stiffler at the Arab American National Museum (AANM) and Elizabeth Searls at the Eastern Michigan University Archives, who located valuable documents regarding FEARAB and AAUG. This paper was completed with the support of the Conrad Humanities Award at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. I want to especially thank Ellen McLarney for inviting me to present an earlier version at the Middle East in Latin America conference at Duke University.",
