Integralism and Bolsonarism: A Comparative Analysis

Integralism, a fascist movement founded in Brazil in the 1930s, sought to create a corporatist, authoritarian state that would unify the nation under a single leader. Bolsonarism, a far-right political movement that emerged in Brazil in the 2010s, shares many of the same ideological and political goals as integralism. Both movements emphasize the importance of national unity, social order, and the rejection of communism.

This book compares the two movements in terms of their ideology, political strategies, and popular support. It argues that despite their different historical contexts, integralism and Bolsonarism are part of a broader far-right tradition in Brazil that has been shaped by authoritarianism, nationalism, and anti-communism.

The Rise of Far-Right Movements in Brazil

The rise of far-right movements in Brazil is a complex phenomenon that has been influenced by a variety of factors, including economic inequality, political instability, and social unrest. This book examines the role of integralism and Bolsonarism in the growth of far-right sentiment in Brazil, and it argues that these movements have helped to create a climate of fear and intolerance that has made it easier for far-right candidates to win elections and implement their authoritarian agendas.

The Global Implications of Far-Right Movements

The rise of far-right movements in Brazil has implications not only for Brazil but also for the global community. This book argues that far-right movements are a threat to democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. It calls for a global response to the rise of far-right movements, and it offers a number of recommendations for how to combat these movements and promote democratic values.

From Integralism to Bolsonarism: Routledge Studies in Fascism and the Far Right is a timely and important book that provides a comprehensive analysis of the continuities between Brazilian integralism and contemporary Bolsonarism. This book offers valuable insights into the rise of far-right movements in Brazil and their global implications, and it is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and future of fascism and the far right.
