The subsequent extension of studies and approach in themes of all countries keep in touch with motivations, many times, derivated from worries about foreign policies with the area. Immersed in this group, the firsts studies about Brazil came to life in the United States about 1930 and had a great vigor from 1959 due to Cuban Revolution. The aim of this current work is to analyze the development of researches about the Brazilian history produced in the United States, here known as "brasilianismo", trying to reflect, mainly, about its position in relation to the others Latin American countries and, at the same time, to understand the work on Brazil of larger repercussion of an important member of the group: the historian Thomas Elliot Skidmore. Such study justifies itself in proportion to the mentioned author was one of the fundamental elements at the consolidation process of the Brazilian studies in the United States. He was the representative more known among the brazilianists who came to Brazil after the Cuban Revolution impulse, Thomas E. Skidmore wrote, in 1967, his first work about Brazilian policy from 1930 to 1964. The importance of his book to the historiography and the Brazilian reader, as other brazilianists books, is related to his unpublished work in that it refers to the approach of the republican past starting from 1930, but its internal analysis allows to capture its positionings in relation to the several present currents in the field as the modernization theory.
