Gustavo Adolfo Luiz Dodt da Cunha Barroso (December 29, 1888 – December 3, 1959[1]) was a Brazilian antisemite lawyer, historian, writer and politician associated with Brazilian Integralism.[2] He was also known by the pseudonym João do Norte.[3] Being considered a master of Brazilian folklore,[4] he was the first director of the National Historical Museum and one of the leaders of the Brazilian Integralist Action, being one of its most prominent ideologists.

He is considered the most anti-Semitic Brazilian intellectual,[5] whose ideas were close to those of Nazi theorists.[6][7]

A significant portion of the historiography emphasizes that Barroso’s antisemitism was framed not in racial terms, but as a moral concern.[8]

There also scholars who affirm that he manifests traditional catholic forms of antisemitism.[9]

Barroso explicitly rejected racial interpretations.[10][11] He positioned himself as an anti-racist writer fighting what he viewed as jewish racism.[11]
