Gustavo Adolfo Luiz Dodt da Cunha Barroso (December 29, 1888 – December 3, 1959[1]) was a Brazilian lawyer, writer and politician associated with Brazilian Integralism and antisemitism.[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] Barroso wrote that he did not agree with Hitler's anti-Semitism and justified his attacks on Jews with an alleged fight against racism. As he himself put it:

"Sooner or later, according to their inveterate custom, the Jews will pull their sleeves out and then it will be seen who is right. What is happening between us is happening more or less everywhere, except in Germany, where the nation is aware of the problem. In our opinion, Hitler makes a mistake, however, in his anti-Jewish campaign. He fights Jews in the name of Aryan racism. Now, since the Jew is the greatest of all racists, it is not possible to combat him with another racism, but only with an anti-racism. What must be fought is precisely Jewish racism. In the name of Christian principles that preach the equality of all human beings, we fight the people who declare themselves ELECTED and SUPERIOR" [8]
