First published in 1999. This work examines the processes by which
Brazilian nationalists forged and propagated an all-inclusive
national identity, which attempted to promote racial harmony in the
first four decades of the twentieth century. Specific emphasis is
given to the rising patriotic feelings under the administration of
President Getulio Vargas, which culminated in the creation of
Estado Novo in 1937. Vargas' generation succeeded in encouraging
Brazilians to identify with 'the nation' above other possible
communities, such as radical, ethnic or regional ones. In the
process, nationalists created enduring national myths and symbols
which successfully marginalised racial consciousness for the rest
of the twentieth century.
