Since the times of Independence in 1822, nationalism was a rising trend in Brazilian culture. Its climax came with Modernism in the 1920s, the Vargas dictatorship in the 1930s and the building up of Brasilia in the 1950/60s. After that, new trends in globalization started casting Brazilian culture in new, more challenging and problematic directions.
