NATIONALISM, ORIENTALISM AND OTHERNESS: CONSEQUENCES OF IMMIGRATION IN VENEZUELA AT THE END OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY FROM MEMOIRS OF WOLF’S HAND (DOMINGO B. CASTILLO, 1934)
Resumen
The phenomenon of immigration always has sparked controversy regardless of location and age. Some countries, such as Venezuela, were visionary and promoted foreign workers to boost the economy during the post-independence period. However, this aroused a nationalist feeling in Venezuelans and changed their perception of foreigners. Memoirs of Wolf’s Hand of Domingo B. Castillo (1934) describes this situation, where not only nationalism but also orientalism and otherness influenced the narrative of this Venezuelan author. The principal goal of this academic paper is through Memoirs of Wolf’s Hand to identify the consequences of immigration in Venezuela at the end of the nineteenth century.
