Abstract:
States that by 1922 Brazil was experiencing a "crisis of liberalism" which opened the way to a series of nationalistic authoritarian movements. These were supported by the conservative right and the Catholic Church and influenced by the European fascist movements, and claimed that Brazil was exposed to the dangers of communism, Freemasonry, and invasion by Jews, Japanese, and Protestants. In 1932 the Ação Integralista Brasileira, a fascist antisemitic organization, was founded. Its leader, Plínio Salgado, published antisemitic articles in the newspaper "A Razão", while the organization's antisemitic theoretician, Gustavo Barroso, translated the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion". President Getúlio Vargas' coup d'état in 1937, claiming to restore order to Brazil, was in fact the beginning of the dictatorship of the "national state" which advocated homogeneous race and control of immigration, with antisemitism as an important ideological component.
