ResumoThis article presents a panorama of the multiple identities assumed by Lebanese immigrants in Brazil, in a subtle conflict opposing the search for a national identity versus the several local and religious identities maintained in the country adopted. Initially it discusses the well-known “myth of the peddler,” an attempt to confer cultural unity and to value the social attributes from Lebanese immigrants – and that many times has obliterated the existence of less privileged sectors among them. Then are described the differentiations among the several groups that constitute the colony of Lebanese immigrants, and their descendants, concerning the main aspects related to the social and cultural identification of each individual and each group: the local origin and the religious practice.
