Description
Summary:The brazilian integralism can be considered the greatest Latin American fascist expression movement. In Brazil, through integralists flags, it reached a significant expansion in practically all states. In Minas Gerais, it was actively present in several cities, promoting an authoritarian and conservative speech in a society seen as insecure. With such scenario in view, using the documentation produced by the Department of Political and Social Order of Minas Gerais (DOPS-MG) and the integralist press, the purpose of this article is to analyze the integralist performance in the traditional town of São João del-Rei, highlighting two central references still unknown to historiography: the Integralist University Congress cancellation and the integralist politics introjection in the town’s society, which marked political personalities such as the councilman at the time, Tancredo de Almeida Neves.
