Abstract
The article investigates the traces that Lebanese culture has left in the novels of two Lebanese-Mexican writers: Las hojas muertas by Bárbara Jacobs and En el verano, la tierra by Carlos Martínez Assad. First, the article briefly examines the historical background of Lebanese migration to Mexico between XIX and XX centuries and it observes the two novels in general and the profile of the authors. Then, it carries out the analysis of some shared themes related to the process of reconstruction of identity.
