Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to present an overview of the history of Brazilian radical right since its emergence in the late nineteenth century until the present. The emphases of the text will be the integralism (the Brazilian version of fascism) and the period between the two world wars, but it will also address the periods before 1932 and after 1945. The presence of ideas and practices of European fascisms in Brazil, their presence within the integralism and the continuities and changes in the course of this century will be specially emphasized.
