The article presents a counterpoint between the conceptions of Brazilian society developed by
Euclides da Cunha and Manoel Bomfim in their books Os sertes (1902; tr. Rebellion in the Backlands,
1944) and A America Latina: males de origem (1905). Framing both works against the climate of
enthusiasm over national modernization which marked the turn of the century, the article identifies
common points and differences: how these authors questioned the ongoing political-social process,
in which Brazil was proclaimed to be on the road to progress and civilization; how each put forward
their critical viewpoints regarding the logic and goals governing this process; and the limits that each
imputed to the process then underway.
