The Arab-Jewish Economic Presence in San Pedro Sula, the Industrial Capital of Honduras: Formative Years, 1880s-1930s
Author(s)Euraque, Dario A.
AbstractExamines the extent to which Arab and Jewish emigration to Honduras prior to the 1930’s parallels larger migrations of these people to other countries of Latin America, and the economic role of Arab and Jewish immigrants in the development of Honduras’s most important industrial city. While Arab immigration reflected more general Middle Eastern migratory flows to Latin America from the 1880’s on, the evidence, while sketchy, suggests that Jewish immigration in Honduras did not parallel broader processes documented for Latin America as a whole.
