Presencia árabe en la literatura latinoamericana

"Survey emphasizes diversity of Latin American culture. Arabs have been present in Latin American culture since the first Spaniards arrived with Columbus, and many more came with the conquistadors. From Quevedo, Cervantes, and Borges, Macías shows that the great majority of Latin American writers have written some lines on the Arab culture"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
