%X L¡¯Am¨¦rique latine, comme d¡¯autres parties du monde, est le th¨¦atre d¡¯une intense effervescence identitaire, cons¨¦quence, pour une large part, de la globalisation. Souvent install¨¦es depuis le d¨¦but du xxe si¨¨cle, les populations d¡¯origine arabe ¨C venues du Liban, de la Syrie et de la Palestine, majoritairement ¨C n¡¯y ¨¦chappent pas, comme nous le donne ¨¤ voir la s¨¦rie de vingt-six films documentaires command¨¦s par la cha ne qatarie Al-Jazeera et diffus¨¦s en 2005 dont il est ici question. Ces films mettent en sc¨¨ne une arabit¨¦ diverse, largement r¨¦invent¨¦e, assur¨¦e d¡¯elle-m¨ºme et de sa r¨¦ussite, dont les membres n¡¯h¨¦sitent pas ¨¤ faire la le on ¨¤ leurs cousins demeur¨¦s au pays. Latin America, like other parts of the world, is the scene of deep turmoil around local identities, mainly due to the effects of globalization. The populations of Arab origin ¨C mostly from Lebanon, Syria and Palestine, and settled there since the beginning of the twentieth century ¨C are no exception. A series of twenty-six documentaries illustrates this phenomenon. Commissioned by the Qatari news channel Al-Jazeera and broadcast in 2005, these films show very different ways of expressing largely reinvented Arab identities. The members of these communities appear confident about themselves and their success, and readily offer advice to their relatives in their countries of origin.
