Centre for Postcolonial Studies Latin American Scholars Seminar Series 2018
Seeking to contribute to the study of the Falkland/Malvinas War and, thus, to the relations between the Middle East and Latin America, this paper analyzes the differences and similarities in the approaches to the war in the Israeli/Hebrew and Palestinian/Arab press. This article will argue that the Falkland/Malvinas War was understood mainly from regional perspectives, not only or mainly from national, ethnic or political identities.
In the framework of Latin American Studies, most of the historiography exploring the relations between both regions during the Falkland/Malvinas War has emphasized the complex role of ethnic, national and ideological perspectives. Although this role is unquestionable, this focus obscured the fact that Middle East societies considered this war in relation to regional political processes.
The comparative analysis of the Arab and Hebrew press approaches to the Malvinas/Falkland War do not just offer a chance to rethink the transnational implications and understandings of this war. This analysis provides an opportunity to study the history of Middle East-Latin American relations from a new angle that illuminates the limits and sometime contradictory role of ethnic ties.
