Publication day has arrived (tinyurl.com/5n6pt9y7)! Drawing from ethnographic interviews with Arab-Latin American elites, I elucidate the making of interregional ties and scrutinize the claim that global capitalists have a cosmopolitan consciousness. Key contributions 🧵:

Honored to be part of this collection. Contrary to sanguine accounts of South-South ties, I argue that current Latin American-Middle Eastern linkages are dominated by agribusiness and lack the radical promise of past Third-World initiatives.
