Once again, Maria Luiza Tucci Carneiro engages her investigative zeal, her critical discernment and her academic competence in the scientific unveiling of an insidious attack on the right to difference in a small and extraordinary synthesis of the manifestations of modern anti-Semitism in Brazil. Based on solidly documented research, the author uses everything from literary examples to facts recorded by police and government control bodies (Dops, Deops, etc.) in the 20th century, to analyze the manifestations of modern anti-Semitism in Brazil, valuing its ideological dynamics and observing their singularities at different moments in history. Thus, it puts on the agenda an extensive discussion about the virulent Russian pamphlet - The Protocols of the Elders of Zion - widely disseminated by Judeophobic movements and Nazi fascism in particular, exposes the racist policy of the Brazilian government during the Estado Novo and focuses on the anti-Semitism that it resurfaces today with no less perfidy, as can be seen in the celebration of the ongoing terror and its supposed causes.
