Description
Summary:The author traces Charles Fourier's biography and the beginnings of french utopic socialism, focusing on its repercussions in Brazil, where in the southern province of Santa Catarina were founded two colonies from an early dissidence among the first Fourierist immigrants. The article relates the difficulties faced by the colony of Sai and the eventual failure of Palmital. Finally, he studies Fourier's influence among Pernambuco's first socialists through the activities of a french doctor, Louis Vauthier and his influence in the socialist periodical O Progresso, which preached already in 1846 as agrarian reform against the northeastern's powerful and owners.
