This article discusses one of the most complex mythologies of Brazilian national history, those of Getúlio Vargas and a the very complex host of foreigners, between communism and anti-Semitism, of the Estado Novo (1937-1945), regime who has not stopped growing a deliberate and variable ambiguity between European fascisms and democracies. The author gives there a vigorous work on a —still debated— a monolithically and “cordial” past in Brazil.
