Triste Fim de Tenório d'Albuquerque
This is the first paper aimed at analyzing the political thought of A. Tenóriod'Albuquerque, an intellectual who was part of the anti-Semitic wing of theBrazilian Integralist Action (AIB). Our timeframe lies between 1937 and1941, a time lapse during which anti-Semitism and anti-imperialism,elements that are our main concern, became explicit in his books. Writing inthe eve and at the beginning of the Second World War, the author appeals toHistory in order to call for a pro-Axis position, since England would behistorically bowed to Jewish interests. Brazil's 1942 entry into the war onthe Allied side brought problems to the author, who got arrested.
