Latin America and Yugoslavia in the anthropological work of Vera Stein Erlich

In her anthropological work, Vera Stein Erlich (1897−1980) was paying significant research attention to Latin American (Mexican) and Yugoslav (Bosnian Muslim) cultural parallelisms, based on the assumption that both regional cultures shared the same style. This style, named Oriental cultural style, supposedly originated in Al-Andalus, whence it diffused both to Latin America and the Ottoman Balkans. The article, inspired by the methodological approach of intellectual history, is aimed at discovering the theoretical background of her assumptions, developed in the Central European Orientalist science, the history of Islam, and in particular the history of Judaism of the 19th century.
