Abstract

This article aims to present the Brazilian foreign policy towards Africa, developed in the 1960s and conceived by Janio Quadros and João Goulart, but effectively implemented by Mario Gibson Barboza, during the Brazilian military regime, as being directly influenced by the thought of Gilberto Freyre, especially by the idea of “lusotropicalism”.
