| Eveline Hasler's historical novel Ibicaba, das Paradies in den Köpfen (1985) concerns the emigration of a group of Swiss citizens to Brazil in 1855. The article considers the author's technique of blending fact and fiction to craft a powerful account of white slavery in the New World, and traces links between Hasler's novel and nineteenth-century literary works by Friedrich Gerstäcker and Amalia Schoppe. Examining Hasler's use of characterisation, theme and leitmotiv, the article probes the manner in which the novel illuminates a dark episode in Swiss history, while also contributing indirectly to the modern political discourse on economic migration, people trafficking and bonded labour. | |
