ABSTRACT
The paper seeks to analyze how conviviality between the founder of the Brazilian Integralist Action (AIB), Plínio Salgado, and the publishers José Olympio and Augusto Frederico Schmidt contributed to the publication of Integralist books. First, it tries to ascertain the relevance of books to Integralism, since the intellectuals from AIB published almost fifty books between 1933 and 1937, most of them through two publishing houses: Editora José Olympio and Schmidt Editor. Then, it argues that the dynamics between friendship (material and ideological), interests, and power relations, built by the Salgado's relationship to those two editors, was crucial to the publication of the Integralist works, assuring their presence within the Brazilian publishing market and, thus, the circulation of AIB's ideas.
