Caminho das Índias : Orientalism, Economic Boom, and the Globalized Telenovela

Premiering during a period of significant economic growth for Brazil’s middle class (the Lula era), Caminho das Índias (The Path to the Indies) was more than a romance between Maya (Juliana Paes) and Bahuan (Márcio Garcia). It was a cultural phenomenon. The 203-chapter serial followed the forbidden love between a Brahmin priest’s daughter and an "untouchable" (Dalit) adopted heir. This paper investigates how the novela used India as an allegorical mirror for Brazilian social stratification. Caminho Das indias Completo
