Fazer turismo em tempos de guerra. As viagens pelo Brasil do galego José Casais entre 1937 e 1939

A study reveals that the Galician scholar José Casais, exiled in Brazil during World War II, subtly integrated Santiago de Compostela—a symbol of tradition and prestige—as a reference point to promote Goiás as a tourist destination. Through his travelogue Un turista en el Brasil (1940), Casais applied modern tourism frameworks while navigating political constraints under the Estado Novo regime. The research, based on documentary analysis, examines how his itineraries drew parallels between Compostela and Goiás, positioning the latter in emerging tourism narratives despite Brazil's neutrality during the early war years.
