Stern Originally published by Editora Hucitec, Sao Paulo, as Patricios: Sirios e Libaneses em Sao Paulo FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Syrian and Lebanese immigrants to Brazil chose to settle in urban areas, a marked contrast to many other migrant groups. In São Paulo, these newcomers embraced new lives as merchants, shopkeepers, and industrialists, making them a dominant force in the citys business sector. Oswaldo Truzzis original work on these so-called patrícios changed the face of Brazilian studies.

He considers their relationships to other groups within São Paulos kaleidoscopic mix of cultures. He also reveals the differences--real and perceived--between Syrians and Lebanese in terms of religious and ethnic affinities and in the economic sphere. Finally, he compares the two groups with their counterparts in the United States and looks at the wave of Lebanese Muslims to São Paulo that began in the 1960s. Author Biography Oswaldo Truzzi is a senior professor of graduate studies in sociology at the Federal University of São Carlos. Ramon J. Stern is a translator and administrative manager of the Brazil Initiative and Brazilian Studies Association at Brown University.
