Bolsonarismo, Integralismo e Fascismo: Diálogos entre Jair Bolsonaro, Plínio Salgado, e Benito Mussolini (2024) offers an accessible and insightful exploration of both contemporary and historical Brazilian politics. This book tackles the challenge of understanding the anti-democratic movements resonating in Brazil and around the world, without overwhelming the reader with academic jargon.
By examining the speeches, writings, and political agendas of leaders like Mussolini, Plínio Salgado, and Jair Bolsonaro, the book seeks to answer a crucial question: can fascism, which peaked in Europe before 1945, resurface in different times and places, including Brazil? Through a critical lens, the author presents points of agreement and disagreement between original fascism and its Brazilian counterparts, exploring specific characteristics that might serve as points of intersection.
