Abstract:
The rise of Nazi-like extreme-right movements in Brazil in the early 1990s brought about an alliance of the two minorities - Jews and Blacks - that suffered from it the most. In December 1992, the Frente Contra o Racismo (Front against Racism) was established in Rio de Janeiro. The alliance between Blacks and Jews was a new episode in Brazilian history. The preparatory stage highlighted the gap between the problems preoccupying the two communities; Black and Jewish leaders had different views of the organization's goals. Both groups were somewhat prejudiced against one another. The alliance proved to be short-lived; however, it helped to politicize ethnic issues in Brazil.
