This article aims to show that in Paradise in the Land of Kjartan Fløgstadthere is a critique of the way Scandinavians and Latin Americans perceive each other. Thisidentity perception is based on stereotype, which builds an image of the other that issupported by prejudice. Now, although Fløgstad's novel addresses both perceptions, the truthis that it emphasizes that of Europeans over Latin Americans, evidencing the mistreatmentand marginalization that the latter experience when they migrate to the countries of theformer. To achieve the objective proposed by the article, some theoretical contributions fromcontemporary imagology will be used.
