Gustavo Adolfo Luiz Dodt da Cunha Barroso (29 December 1888 – 3 December 1959) was a Brazilian lawyer, historian, writer and politician associated with Brazilian Integralism. He was also known by the pseudonym João do Norte. Considered a master of Brazilian folklore, he was the first director of the National Historical Museum and one of the leaders of the Brazilian Integralist Action, as well as one of its most prominent ideologists. He was a member of the Brazilian Historic and Geographic Institute. Barroso was an antisemitic intellectual whose ideas were, in certain aspects, close to those of Nazi theorists. A significant portion of the historiography emphasizes that his antisemitism was framed not in racial, but moral term. There are also scholars who affirm that he manifested traditional Catholic forms of antisemitism. He explicitly rejected racial interpretations, positioning himself as an anti-racist writer fighting what he viewed as Jewish racism.
