John Tofik Karam, assistant professor of Latin American and Latino Studies at DePaul University in Chicago, was interviewed by the Instituto de Cultura Árabe (Icárabe)—a grassroots organization promoting Arab culture and history, based out of São Paulo, Brazil. Karam’s interview and two other reports about him were posted on the Institute’s website, http://www.icarabe.org. Karam spoke of his recent book, Another Arabesque: Syrian-Lebanese Ethnicity in Neoliberal Brazil, his own family history in Lebanon, the U.S., and Brazil, as well as post-9/11 racial politics in the Americas.

After a welcoming message by Professor Jing Wang, Head of Foreign Languages and Literatures at MIT, Peter Patrikis, former Executive Director of the Consortium for Foreign Language Teaching and Learning, gave the opening speech, retracing the history of Cultura. The creators of the project presented the original version of the MIT-based Cultura, detailing its goals, content and methodology. Two presentations followed: one by Jim Crapotta and Jesus Suarez Garcia from Barnard College who developed a Cultura in Spanish (with a University in Spain) and the other by several faculty from Brown University. Those included: Beth Bauer who developed a Cultura in Spanish (with a University in Mexico), Lynne deBenedette who developed one in Russian (with a University in Russia) and Shoggy Waryn who helped establish and integrate those two projects at Brown. Several question and answer periods followed these presentations.
